Guest post on 17 Days to Superhuman

I had the excitement of producing a guest blog post for the 17 Days to Superhuman Blog! In this post I provide a sample workout plan that only takes 15-20 minutes and you can adjust the intensity based on your fitness levels. I also get into the importance of healthy adrenals and the dangers of adrenal exhaustion.

This blog, ebook series and informational website, 17 Days to Superhuman, is dedicated to optimal performance. Join in on each task as, my boyfriend, Matt Rosson, utilizes 17 days to train. 

The next book coming out, Nov. 14 for Kindle is "Marathon Training in 17 Days" will provide training tips, awesome ways to recover and be ready for your next 26.2 mile marathon! It's available for pre-order on Amazon.

Adrenals!

DON'T eat this please...

Fight or flight??? Which do you prefer?

Well, our little adrenal glands work hard for us, not only assisting us in this fight or flight situation, but regulating our thyroids, hormones and immunity. Those sound pretty important to me.

To keep healthy adrenals, try to avoid or limit your caffeine and sugar intake. those to substances make your adrenals work hard and sustain high levels of cortisol..keeping them from doing their daily job.

They work best with short term stress, healthy adrenal glands release cortisol to help you deal with stress then bounce back, and continue that process. But, unhealthy adrenals have a harder time bouncing back.

Adrenals that are shot, can take four to six months to fully recover, it honestly depends on how fatigued your adrenals can be. Sometimes kidney infections can be caused by fatigued adrenals, since those organs are neighbors. Be kind to your this organ and you'll be fine.
