Working Out and Testosterone!

StrongBoard Balance Board Uriah Hall TestosteroneDon’t ask your endocrinologist, but there are easy natural ways to increase your testosterone with your StrongBoard Balance, along with diet and sleep. Testosterone is a very important hormone for your health, as it is a big influencer of mood, libido, strength, and muscle size.

Of course, many things affect testosterone levels, but if you nail down these three areas, you’ll be 90% of the way there. Like we’ve mentioned in previous blogs on sleep and diet, these two factors are the biggest influence on your physical health, and it’s no different for testosterone.

Exercise will give you a temporary boost of testosterone, but where the long term gains are achieved through consistent strength training. This type of training, along with StrongBoard, is the best way to get stronger, and build muscle mass. StrongBoard will help you increase your balance, coordination, and core stability, while also helping to prevent injury.

These additional bonuses will prevent you from missing long periods of exercise due to injury, while also helping you get a more effective workout from the added stability training. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your testosterone levels.

An additional bonus of working out is staying in shape and avoiding obesity, which significantly decrease your testosterone levels.

Sleep and StrongBoard

Sleep

You’ve been working hard on your StrongBoard consistently, and you’ve also been eating super foods while avoiding unhealthy junk food. Yet, you still feel like you could be seeing more results. What could be in your way? If you’ve been eating right and exercising, then the answer is sleep. Sleep is the bedrock on which all health and fitness goals rest on. Sleep’s importance cannot be understated. Think of sleep, exercise and diet as three points on a circle. All are tied together, so if something changes with one, it affects the other two.

How you sleep affects the quality of your workout, and how your body recovers. Willpower is also greatly affected, so it can be much harder to resist that donut on four hours of sleep than a full night’s rest. Getting a good night’s rest will have you feeling motivated and inspired to workout instead of groggy and dreading your workout. The good thing about eating right and exercising is that it improves your ability to fall and stay asleep.

How much rest should you be getting? It varies depending on the person, but between seven to ten hours, with eight to nine hours being average. A dark, quiet, cool room is optimal. Keep exercising and eating right, you should be well on your way to a good night’s rest.
