"Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: What Is The Best Exercise To Do With Adrenal Fatigue?"
"Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: I would like to know what kind of work out to do when you are dealing with adrenal fatigue and for how long? Also do you recommend weight or resistance training while going through adrenal fatigue?
First of all, when getting your adrenals strong you want to get as much stress removed from your adrenals and body as possible.
Lack of exercise adds stress to the body because your body gets less oxygen. You want to exercise enough to get the body to be able to relax deeper but not so much that it is counter-productive to your adrenals recovering. Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: Different Levels... However, different people have different levels of adrenal insufficiency. Some people are so severe they need to do something really light. Another may simply be over-training. So they have to just cut back their training intensity. Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: Test... So the first thing you want to do is see how severe your adrenal fatigue is. If you do the tests on this page: Adrenal Test, you can see the degree of adrenal fatigue you have. If you show adrenal fatigue only on the first one it is a lighter form of adrenal fatigue. If you get it on the second one, then it is more severe. If you get it on the last one, it is very severe. Most people who have severe adrenal insufficiency will not have the energy to exercise. So that will be a big clue right there. In this case light or maybe brisk walking will be not only good, but will be about all they can do! Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: Max Aerobic Threshold... For the other two levels, of adrenal fatigue the best thing I found to do was to use the Max Aerobic Threshold as the upper level intensity limit. With this measure of your heart rate you can get a clearer or more objective measure of whether your workout is too intense or not. By keeping your heart rate below the maximum aerobic threshold you will be making sure you are exercising is such a way that your body is still using oxygen. When you exercise "Intense" or anaerobically, your body stops using oxygen and also starts to use sugar. This is what you want to avoid with your exercise when you are trying to get your adrenals stronger again. Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: Listen To Your Body... But I also tell clients that even if they are exercising below their Maximum Aerobic Threshold, if they feel they are exerting too hard, then they should lessen it. Stress is not just physical. It can be "perceived stress" as well. So you want to be able to listen to your body and hear what it is saying. You are getting out of breath, or fatigued, or even start to feel exhaustion when exercising, those are good signs that you are pushing it too hard. When you workout, you should feel refreshed. Even when you have adrenal fatigue, your exercise should give you a good feeling. Especially afterwards. Adrenal Fatigue Treatments: What Exercises Can Be Used? Well when you think about the Maximum Aerobic Threshold, you will have a whole class of exercises available to you. Things like yoga, pilates, brisk walking, tai chi, calisthenics in water, light jogging, etc. These are lighter workouts that don't involve sprinting or bursts. Doing intense exercise at this time will not help you lose weight. It will cause more water retention or hold your weight in place. Adrenal Fatigue Treatment: When Is It OK To Start Doing Intense Exercise Again? There are a few ways I judge this. One way is to look at your heart rate fitness tests. When your heart rate recovery start to get shorter, you see you feel different already. You will feel less tired. You will feel more endurance and less fatigue. At this time you can start to test doing some intense workouts. I don't have a formula for how to phase intense workouts in. I do prefer getting high intensity interval training used before resistance training. I found this works a lot better. Resistance exercise has the risk of plunging you backwards. So in your weight loss program, make sure that it checks for adrenal fatigue and also makes sure that your exercise adjusts for the health of your adrenals.

Over the past 10 years I have been losing weight and putting it back on just about every three months. I finally took a much needed step and hired Yegyan to help me stop the yo-yo diet cycle. After 30 days I lost 11 LBS and was able to get back into my favorite pair of jeans. After 60 days I lost a total of 16 LBS. After 120 days, the weight is still off, my skin looks much better, and I actually have energy at 2pm in the afternoon! Lol
People always ask me what’s different and it really boils down to the education that I received from Yegyan. He put facts behind his food & nutrient recommendations so that I began to WANT to eat healthier foods instead of just forcing myself. It’s been a lifestyle change and I couldn’t be happier to have officially said goodbye to the old (overweight) Nick.
Yegyan, thank you for all of your hard work and for our new friendship.

| | I hired Yegyan to help me with general health and energy. I wasn't so interested in weight loss. But I endedup losing 14 pounds in two months. And this was also during Christmas! I hardly have any sugar cravings (and I was a sugarholic. I mean fast food dessert breakfast lunch and dinner), and have deeper sleep than I ever remember and more energy throughout the whole day. The days were like a struggle to make it through. Now I feel good, calm, focused and happy all day. It is more than I expected. Jenna Wilkinson

| I spoke to you about 3 weeks ago, and I wanted to thank you again for responding to my last e-mail so promptly, and giving me some feedback on what I've been doing. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to check in and let you know about my progress... so far after about 2 1/2 weeks, I've lost about 10lbs. When I took my measurements, I would say that I've lost between 1/2" and 1" in most areas of my body T. D. Long Beach CA Jun 25, 2010
| | There was a change today.... 4.5 lbs loss to be exact. :) Charlene Mercer, Dohar
| | Last time I told you I had lost 20lbs in three months by changing my diet and aerobic activity in the form of brisk running. My waist has gone from 45" to now 38" and my weight 196lbs my height is 6ft.... and my waist is getting smaller again. This is great motivation! ...At 57 I don't feel I have both feet in the grave yet. Above all I don't want to become what I see lots of my friends starting to turn into wizened old men!
Anyhow thought I would just give you some feedback and thank you for a well written and thought out book. Larry Manderson, MD. Ireland

THANKS Nevin
| | Went to doc's office: She decreased my insulin back down to 40 (yippee!) and was really pleased with my progress.... I'm happy with what you've helped me accomplish thus far. I was shocked to suddenly realize that I was feeling good after so many years of daily headaches and stuffed up nose. L. Liberty, Tacoma, WA
| | When I first started changing my diet a week ago, I couldn't believe it. I definitely started to feel the difference. My mind was clearer. It felt like a fog was lifted. My energy was increased. I wasn't dragging myself around to do things. I had a lot more energy. Even my hair improved. It wasn't as dry as it was before I changed the way I was eating. It has a lot more body and not as frizzy and it was. I was using a special conditioner to make it less dry and frizzy. I don't have to use that anymore. My skin is different also. I have been told so many times by a lot of people that I look younger. I even notice it myself. I don't look so worn out anymore. My skin has a different look to it. It seems like my wrinkles are not as pronounced. The rest of my body isn't as dry as it was, I don't use half of the lotions I did before. I have lost ten pounds and 1 inch of my thighs and hips. My life is changing for the better. I haven't even started to exercise yet. But I don't feel that it will be as hard as it would have been if I didn't change my diet. I'll update you with my results. Thank you so much for all of your help and the knowledge that you are giving me. What a difference a diet can make in your life. I think once you get the knowledge on how food affects your body, the easier it is to change the way you eat. Knowledge it half the battle. So many people eat the wrong way because they have been given bad information. There are a lot of people on diets that are really not eating the right way or eating the right things. They seem to gain the weight right back the minute they stop the diet. They feel hungry all of the time and get tempted constantly by the things they can't eat. Well I don't feel deprived. I don't feel hungry and I haven't been tempted by anything, which is unusual for me. Nobody ate more sugar and sweets than I did. I was always putting a cookie in my mouth. Eating chocolate or cake any chance I got. I thought it gave me more energy. I don't need that anymore. I never thought I would not want any sweets, but I don't. I feel satisfied, which is a great feeling.
Feb 2 2009 Follow up …. Ye Gyan, I am now down to 128lbs from 156lbs!! You're great!! I can now wear anything I want!! I feel so much better at this weight! Wait until you see me. We need to take another after picture!

… Everyone is starting to tell me how good I look. My mom could not believe my size 8's are really loose. I had got up to a size 10 and it was tight boy that came off quick. I have tried for months to do what you have got me to doing. I am a Tarus born in April and my head is hard but I am listening to you and doing as you say. 11Feb 2010...
Yegyan I did not know if I should tell you this but I am. It has only been a few weeks and the changes in on the out side of me are turning 35 year olds heads. YES I have got 35 year old men after me. I was trying to change my cholesterol I dont know if that has happened yet but now I have another thing going on. I have got men after me from 35 to 70 years old. I am really having a lot of fun with all the attention I am getting I was not looking for weight to go so much but I am really liking this. I am in jeans I have not worn for 10 years I look 10 years younger than I am. THIS IS FUN If people dont belive it they can email me. E. Powell, WA
| At 48 years old, I had spent the better part of 25 years running, working out, eating healthy food, and taking care of my body. Being somewhat of an exercise junkie, I was certain I had all the answers. I was frustrated that my body was stuck in a state of “I’m not budging, just try and make me.” I can honestly say that I thought I knew exactly what I was supposed to be doing for myself and for my health, however, I was working in vain. What I wanted was completely eluding me. I thought that at 48 I finally had the time, the space and the energy to have the body that I wanted, and dammit, I was going to get it. I tried to tweak my diet and exercise routines in every way I could think of, but nothing was working. Although I was keeping up a rigorous routine of daily exercising and relatively (at least that is what I thought) healthy eating, nothing was changing. In addition to not feeling as fit as I should have been for how hard I was working, I literally had zero energy Yegyan’s approach to diet, exercise and overall health and well-being are unlike anyone else’s. I have read countless books on diet and exercise. I have had personal trainers and diet coaches. However, I have never felt as good or, in my opinion, looked as good as I feel and look today after following Yegyan’s advice and approach to repairing the body by correcting hormonal imbalances through nutrition and proper exercise. I have lost those stubborn 6 pounds, 8% body fat and 12 inches overall. I am overwhelmed with excitement, not just because I look so much better, but more importantly, because I actually FEEL so much better. I feel more alive, more alert, more energetic, more rested, and healthier than ever. L. Quintanilla, Aliso Viejo, CA
| I listened to what you had to say about exercising and now can understand what I am doing wrong. I have lost inches .... Thank you for helping me to understand that.

| | Before I met Yegyan, I had been working out at the gym, but struggled to lose 10 pounds over a period of many months. When Yegyan and I talked about that, he explained that my heart rate should not go over 126 while working out in order to be burning fat. I had had no idea, so prior to that I had been working as hard as I could push it, out to 135 and even 140 and believing I was doing the best thing possible to lose weight in a healthy manner. As soon as I began to keep my heart rate under 126 and increase the length of workouts as he had also suggested, the next 10 pounds came off much more quickly, and I was a believer! Thank you Yegyan, for helping me to restore myself to fitness.”

| | Thank you so much for your consults and training. I read your book and though I was doing everything correct but the weight loss stopped even though other other symptoms like energy, sleep, flexibility relaxation were still improving. After doing the coaching with you for 4 months I realized that there is more to this than meets the eye. You were able to spot many things that were giving me trouble. Better yet, you told me in advance what I would be running into. Not generally, but specifically me. From your experience you were able to tell me I would have a hard time with something and sure enough it was a brick wall. Then you walked me through it every single day for three weeks straight. There is no way you can put everything in a book. I have reached my goal and know I have given myself the greatest gift - long-term health and knowledge. Please put this email on your site! L.Sanders
