Sweets, or carbohydrates, can be beneficial after a workout because they help replenish the glycogen stores in your muscles that were depleted during exercise. Glycogen is a form of glucose that your body stores in your muscles and liver and uses for energy during exercise. When you work out, your muscles use up some of this stored glycogen, which needs to be replenished for proper recovery.
Consuming carbohydrates after exercise can also help stimulate the release of insulin, which helps transport nutrients like glucose and amino acids into your muscle cells for repair and growth. However, it's important to note that not all sweets are created equal, and it's best to choose sources of carbohydrates that are also rich in nutrients and low in added sugars. Some examples include fruits, whole grains, and sweet potatoes. Consuming too many high-sugar, low-nutrient sweets after a workout can actually be detrimental to your health and fitness goals.

Instead of a video this week, we have a
Guest article from the_running_dpt. It’s a common misconception that participating in activities like running and strength training “wear out” your joints over time, but our bodies aren’t machines that wear down over time. Our bodies adapt. Research shows that activities like running and strength training build STRONGER cartilage- these activities are protective to your joints as you age🏃🏼♀️ And we have research dating back to the 80’s documenting this in powerlifters- athletes who move some SERIOUS weight. These activities also help maintain and improve bone density🦴. So by avoiding activity to “protect your joints”, you may be doing the exact opposite😳. Don’t fall victim to misinformation- protect your joints, stay active!🏃🏼♀️🏋🏼♀️ Did this help you? Share with a friend!

It’s a pain to be disciplined. It’s a pain to make sacrifices. It’s a pain to put in hard work, day in and day out, year after year. It’s a pain to pass on partying and instead stay focused on the process. It’s a pain to refuse comfort food. It’s a pain to go against the grain or against the pack. And it's damn sure a pain in the ass to do all of the little mundane habits and practices over and over and over, especially when no one is looking. BUT it’s worth it! Putting in the effort and “embrac(ing) the suck” gives you such a profound sense of accomplishment when you FINALLY achieve your goals it’s UNREAL!!
Trust The Mighty Miracle Man, I know… Pain, discomfort, obstacles, tests, challenges, and competition make everyone better, but not everyone knows that, accepts that, or wants to believe that. If you choose to work with us, I’m guessing YOU DO… And if you’re not there yet, we can teach you! If it was easy, EVERYONE would do it. If it was easy to succeed and surpass your goals, everyone would be a winner. If making major accomplishments was easy, everyone would have all of the answers. If life was easy, everyone would be a leader. The thing is, it’s NOT easy. In fact, atleast at times, IT’S REALLY REALLY HARD!! Why should you trust Themightymiracleman?! After surviving a near fatal car crash and acquiring a traumatic brain injury from it, HE FOUGHT HIS WAY BACK to live life ON HIS OWN TERMS!! Now he helps others build an INDOMITABLE mindset and improve their own lives.
If I teach the material I'm learning on Youtube, I have to know it so I'm going to try it. I will post the videos here as well so you can stay up to date on Themightymiracleman! Below you can learn about the back!!
I want to help you establish healthy training habits. You see that with all top athletes that establishing routines and habits is the key to making long term gains. The same is even more true for regular everyday athletes or the disabled folks who have all the additional distractions and stress of life and work. Because I still want to help, I'm going to try to post once a month.
And if you’re disabled, you have EXTRA considerations! A big part of training properly is having the right hydration for short workouts and the right energy fuels for longer workouts. Having a bottle of hydration ready to go and supply of bars, gels, or chews ready to grab will let you go harder in each workout and finish stronger so you are prepared for the rest of your day. While I get through medical school, I won't be personally writing the blog. I'm doing this to FOCUS my energy on learning ways to serve you BETTER as a doctor of physical therapy!! I will still post occasionally so it's not REALLY a hiatus but I'm prioritizing school so I can better serve YOU!! Do you know anyone who's a good writer? Do they want to be featured on this site? Have them send us an email here.
