How to Exercise to Boost HGH

Exercise can increase your human growth hormone (HGH) level. However, some exercises are better than others to boost HGH.

Human growth hormone or HGH has been called the “fitness hormone.” This is because HGH is essential in helping you to burn fat and build muscle. The converse is also true – working out can also increase your body’s ability to produce and release HGH.

Personal trainers and doctors agree that strength training and resistance training, such as weightlifting, are the best types of exercises to boost HGH levels.

HGH levels decline as you age. Age-related growth hormone deficiency can impact a man’s emotional and physical health. Exercise alone cannot treat men with a severe growth hormone deficiency. However, for men who may feel moderate symptoms of age-related HGH loss, the right kinds of exercise may help.

Strength Training and Increasing HGH

Resistance training and strength training exercises are the best to raise HGH. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), in particular, has been found to boost HGH. HIIT has the added bonus of also raising testosterone levels.  HIIT consists of repeated sessions of high-intensity cardio, followed by various less intense recovery times. This type of training can be accomplished using bodyweight, resistance bands, free weights, medicine balls, or weight machines.

Studies have found that short HIIT sessions can do more to raise HGH and testosterone than much longer periods of less intense exercise.

What Are the Best Exercises to Increase HGH?

In addition to HIIT, some of the other best exercises for increasing your growth hormone  level are:

Resistance Training – Resistance training, often referred to as “weight training” as opposed to “weightlifting,” — involves making your muscles work against a weight force. Resistance training usually involves machines and resistance bands that use your own body weight. TRX suspension training, used by the US Military, is a form of resistance training particularly good for boosting HGH.

Bodyweight Exercises – You can boost your growth hormone with “bodyweight exercises” that require no equipment at all. By performing bodyweight squats, push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups, you can exercise a range of muscles across your body, growing strength, and all the while boosting HGH. And the best part is you can start right away at home, without having to join a gym or purchase any special gear.

Lifting Weights – Next to HIIT, most personal trainers say that lifting weights is one of the best exercises for raising your HGH and testosterone level.

Weightlifting and HGH

Lifting weights has been found to have a more significant impact on raising your HGH levels than most other strength-training workouts. Within your weightlifting regimen, the exercises that maximize HGH and testosterone production are multi-joint exercises that utilize the body’s largest muscle groups:

• squat
• deadlift
• bench press
• row
• overhead press

How Does Human Growth Hormone Impact Your Strength?

HGH increases muscle strength by enhancing muscle mass. HGH also ramps up protein synthesis throughout your body, providing the energy required to power muscles and help them to grow bigger and stronger.

HGH also plays an important role in how well your body burns fat because it increases lean body mass and increases metabolism. HGH can also improve the health of one of the most important muscles in your body – your heart. Over the past several years, there has been increasing evidence that growth hormone therapy can have a positive impact on heart health.
