When you hear about programming for homeostatic regulators, you may be thinking it’s a little too fancy for you or your current clients…

I totally get it.

Conceptualizing pH levels, blood glucose, and temperature variations are not easy concepts to wrap your neurons around for sure.

You don’t see a lot of fitness influencers making pH super hawt on the gram... yet.

But while the physiology here is more advanced, the actions to implement some pretty incredible change are simple.

Physiologic systems are complex.

Your actions are simple.

Here are 2 examples of how the Phys Flex Certification makes these concepts actionable:

# 1: Training for pH - Do some HIIT.
​Warm up completely. Get on the rower and do all-out intervals for 15-60 sec.

Ideally, you want to keep your watts as high as you can during that entire time.

Rest completely.

Do it again while trying to keep it to 5-10% of that original wattage, thus keeping the high power output consistently high.

Why?

This is going to produce a lot of lactate and hydrogen ions. Your body will then have to buffer that, so you’re then training the pH regulatory system of the homeostatic regulators.

#2: Training for Temperature - Turn Your Shower To Cold

Turn your shower to cold for 10-30 seconds at the end.

Why?

You’re getting your body more comfortable doing something uncomfortable.

While you may not see a massive physiologic benefit, the psychologic benefit of training yourself to do hard things is very useful.

Just imagine how that would benefit your clients in a multitude of other areas of their lives.

Once they get used to that, then you can progress slowly more and more from there to increase the physiologic benefits.

As you can see, these concepts require more science, but they don't require a ton more time.

Heck, many times, they will save you time.

The Phys Flex Cert has over 40 explicit action items, so you will always know exactly what to do. All this is in addition to the overall system to understand how it works and when to do each one.
