Description

Check your cortisol levels to see how you respond to exercise!

You will measure your cortisol:

1) Right before starting an exercise

2) Once exercise ends

3) 30 minutes after exercise ends

4) 60 minutes after exercise ends

5) 2 hours after exercise ends

A healthy cortisol should elevate in response to exercise and then rapidly return to baseline after exercise finishes.

This test will help you understand if you are over-training as one should exhibit:

• Healthy cortisol reserve
• Bump in cortisol in response to exercise
• Quick return of cortisol to baseline after exercise finishes
