hormonal biofeedback in exercise

Rest Is Success

Rest and work are not opposites; they are synergists. All those biofeedback sensations mentioned above require rest in order to be achieved again and again. Remember the theme of fat loss? Burning off fat and keeping it off requires two things: calorie deficits and an optimal hormonal state of function.

When we talked about the 4Ms of metabolism (mindfulness, movement, meals, and metabolics), I mentioned that exercise (metabolics) was probably the least important of the four for beginners and even most people trying to lose weight. The reason is that exercise speeds up metabolism and can trigger hunger and cravings.

The shorter the workout, the less likely that is to happen. However, if we are going to achieve results from exercise, a shorter workout necessitates a more intense workout. And when intensity goes up, rest must be used.

One of the things I am known for in the fitness world is the development of rest-based training (RBT). The concept is based on a simple question: because we need more-intense workouts and because every person has a different level of fitness and physical abilities, how can we personalize the workout to give the exact intensity needed based on the individual? The answer is to give everyone the same style of workouts, but let them rest whenever and for however long they need in the workout.

The mantra to remember is “push until you can’t and rest until you can.” As you have learned, intense exertion is the major determinant of physical adaptation while rest is the chief driver of intensity. Without rest, exercise must be naturally regulated with pacing strategies. This is a key insight because aerobic exercise modalities by their very nature do not employ rest. With aerobic exercise, the only options to increase intensity are going farther or exercising longer. This may not be the most efficient way to drive results.
