Daily Brain Freeze: 10/5

There’s a TON of research available on aerobic exercise and mental health. But when it comes to strength development and weekly strength training there seems to be less public attention given to the subject. This is something we hope to address at Physiology First University as strength training directly impacts hormonal regulation which is key to the health of the brain, body, and mind.

This paper from the University of Sydney provides a phenomenal overview of how regular lifting sessions elevate mental health.

As you know we offer a strength training component in each Brain Freeze segment. These are “maintenance sessions” focused on exploring our physiology and staying mentally and physically fit together-if you’re interested in a longer term, periodized, strength and power development plan check out our Endurance Redefined program in the Athletics Department💪🏽🔥
