Did you know about the super compensation curve?
📈
It’s a principle for whichever energy system you’re stressing

Too much and it struggles to bounce back….
Too little and the bounce back doesn’t change anything…

Knowing this and and aiming to support your recovery with simple strategies, nothing obsessive, will accumulate over time into huge improvements!

Doing nothing is great for rest. But for proper recovery you can do a bit more than nothing.

Exercise is a stressor, improvement doesn’t happen during the work, it happens afterwards once your system can move out of fight or flight and back into its rest-and-digest state.

Walk, eat, hydrate, sleep and help it get there simply.
I’m not talking about getting buried in the hyper-optimism-obsessive-culture.

This week’s essay is on the super compensation curve, the rest-and-digest switch and why you get better after the work, not during it.

Declarative knowledge is what you get from reading, watching and being told. While experiential knowledge is how learn by actually doing the thing.
📈
They are not the same, and your nervous system knows the difference.
You can read every book on altitude then spend one tired, sleepless night high on a mountain and realise you understood none of what it actually does to you.
🤯
Your brain doesn’t learn what you’re capable of from a textbook. It learns from experience.
🧠
So prepare beforehand. Definitely read, listen and learn.
But then you have to do.
💪
Knowing how will only get you to the start line.
Go and do the thing.
✅
That is where our belief gets made.

When you’re training to de-stress, beware you might be burning the candle at both ends.

Most of us pull the exercise lever to try and feel better. Then we finally get to the gym or find time to squeeze the run in and we decide to really push and try get the most bang for our buck.

We push so hard we pile more stress on. A nervous system already working at full blast to meet the rest of the demands you’re under, has a limit to its available capacity. Overload it with too much intensity and you risk tipping it over the edge and breaking it instead of relieving it.

So if you’re training for stress relief, lighten the load, reduce the demand. Aim for a minimum effective dose, just enough to feel like you’ve done something, not so much that you break.

That is the real win, not aiming for a PB or punishing yourself for being too busy to exercise regularly, just ticking the box and feeling better after is the target.

Repeat that until your calendar clears or deadlines pass and that gentle consistency, not intensity, is how you make sure that exercise lever really makes you feel better.

When you’re stressed, exercise at an intensity of 4 out of 10, not a 9 out of 10.

Exercises is another stress on the body and a nervous system already working up full blast does not have unlimited capacity to keep going. You might be making yourself worse.

Whether it’s easier movements, lighter weights, slow controlled yoga or Pilates…

The minimum effective does strategy repeated over time beat smashing yourself once in a while.

The “Can you just”… reflex to say yes to the meeting, to the favour, to the revision that can wait,, that thing that’s needed by Friday or even Monday morning…

Most people design their week around what they need to do for other people, not around what their own nervous system can actually sustain.

Every year fills the calendar with someone else’s priorities until there’s nothing left for you to enjoy.

Your performance ride on the state of your nervous system, which swings between stressed and recovery all week.

Building your week around your capability not your expected capacity puts yourself first.

Protect recovery windows, schedule decompression time, create a lighter week watch sustainability beat survival by the end of the year!
