 |
|
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have strange sleeping patterns after a hard workout?
I had a later Muay thai class last night, and although I trained harder than I've been training lately, I had a hard time falling a sleep and a hard time staying a sleep.
I feel like my whole body is buzzing. Like I can still feel my pulse throughout my body.
I've felt this after sparring as well, I think it my just be adrenaline that refuses to slow. I'm in good shape, and have been training for years. Just wondered if any of you have found anything similar.
Thanks,
Ryan |

Your right, probably adrenaline. Like with any good workout you just need a good down period where you're still moving but not intensely. I would suggest going on a walk after good hard workout.

That happens. Give yourself some time before going to bed to chill. Watch a bit of TV or whatever relaxes you.
I do a lot of later classes. You get used to it. Also, you should be pretty chill when you're fighting. The more you relax when your working out and sparing the better of a fighter you'll become and you won't have as far to come down afterward.

Doing that is actually not good for you. Your body is working and you could end up hurting when you stop moving it all together after a workout.

Thanks guys,
I'll try a warm down, we did stop fairly abruptly.
I thin I'll get used to it.
Happy New Year BTW! 1 hour 15 minutes to go. I'm off to bed. lol |

After an intense session, I'm doing one thing first...breathe!!

You hold your breath that long?!?
Just kidding, Bob.  I do agree that some simple deep breathing exercises can help to bring down the level of intensity one is feeling after working out. About 5 minutes worth can make a difference.

I wouldn't generally recommend doing other martial arts training, particularly martial arts training with very different principles, intermixed with a skill he is trying to learn. i've done it before, and it was counterproductive.

I agree. The key here is to not out think the room. Just taking the time to slow yourself down, breath, and re-hydrate, would probably fix the issue.
