Exercise

From the Huberman Labs podcast

  • Peak times for workout (to optimize performance, minimize injury)

    • 30min after waking

    • 3hrs after waking

    • 11hrs after waking

    • But, shouldn't be the end-all-be-all -- still exercise when you can

  • Studies around aerobic exercise vs anaerobic is hard, since you can't get mice to lift weights

  • Intense workouts late in the day can negatively affect ability to fall asleep

    • In some cases, sleeping same amount but feeling more tired means exercise in the past few days too intense

  • After a few days exercising at same time in morning, body will start to "itch" to wake up at the time and exercise

    • (based on neuroplasticity)

  • After a few days of exercising at the same times, body will secrete hormones around those times to encourage exercise

  • We workout and focus even better when fasted (source: Huberman)

  • 2021 study showing that protein early in day is better for muscle growth and retention

Resistance training / weigh lifting vs endurance

  • Ideally, for a few weeks do 3/2 ratio of weight lifting to endurance

    • Then, for a few weeks do a 2/3 ratio of the same thing

A recent study of 14.5K people showed that even if you start exercising mid-life there are major benefits to longevity (24% reduction in death by all causes) and if you ramp up your existing program, even better (42%). ()
