This week on the Game of Life we are joined by Performance Specialist of Whoop - AJ Baker.  AJ jumps in depth on:  How to get the best the sleep possible, how to know exactly your recovery from one day to the next, HRV, REM, Deep Sleep, your complete day strain, what every nfl player will be wearing next year (and eventually nba player) Olympians, highest level performers, and much much more.  To find out everything more Whoop right here - http://whoop.com For more 'The Game of Life' check out the YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbS7ndQk8P779YT_s4r6gQQ ------------------------------------ Whoop's belief:  'We believe everyone has an inner potential. A potential to perform at their highest level. We believe this potential can be harnessed by uncovering secrets your body is trying to tell you. As humans, we wander through life with remarkably little information on how our bodies are performing. As my co-founder John used to say, “I can predict the weather next week, I know detailed health and performance metrics of my computer, but I don’t know when I’m going to get sick or how hard I should workout today.” Why are you tired, sick, injured, fatigued? What sequence of actions (or lack thereof) led to that state? Conversely, why are you peaking physically, alert, primed…in the flow state? How can you get back there?

ZMA - Zinc, Magnesium, B-6  (get it anywhere at a GNC - the best formula for sleep) 4. White Noise (I use the app Rain Rain - free app and you can be on the beach, in a rainstorm, basically anywhere that drowns out any sounds to give you the optimal sleep!) 5. Eye Mask (yeah I know it looks nerdy and all but keeping out any light keeps the circadian rhythm in natural flow. It's big time, trust me!)       Enjoy the show! Learn more about your ad choices.
