Cardio Training

If you don't sleep well, your day will not go as well as it could. Your workouts are less effective when your energy is low. Too many sleepless nights can contribute to weight gain. If you continue to pile up sleep debt, it will eventually cause your health to suffer.


Psychiatrist and psychotherapist, Tracey Marks, has written a great book entitled, "Master Your Sleep: Proven Methods Simplified." Dr. Marks specializes in the interplay between your mind and body and how it shapes your quality of life. She has treated many patients suffering from burnout, depression and stress. Many times, sleep problems are at the root of their woes.

As a personal trainer, I see more and more clients who have sleep problems. This affects their metabolisms and hinders their efforts to reach fat loss and weight loss goals. I am using this book to help me first and my clients. I don't know anybody who hasn't had sleep problems at some point.

"Master Your Sleep" is well worth reading and it will help you regardless of your circumstances.

My favorite chapters are "Why Can't I Sleep" and "Behavioral Therapy--Things You Can Do." The book is helping me already. In particular, my busy lifestyle can sometimes affect the quality of my sleep. You'd be surprised at how many disorders there are that can hinder your sleep patterns.

Here's your chance to win a free copy of the book! It is paperback, only 125 pages and includes a sleep diary and problem solving worksheet. I have 3 copies to give away over the next week.
