In this episode, I share my top 5 strategies for effective rest and recovery between workouts. As someone who used to believe that more is better when it comes to exercise, I've learned the hard way that proper rest and recovery are crucial for progress and avoiding overtraining.
The 5 key strategies I cover include:
Staying active on rest days through low-intensity activities like walking, rather than complete rest.
Doing bodyweight exercises focused on proper form and range of motion, to maintain muscle-building signals.
Prioritizing mobility work to improve flexibility and joint health.
Emphasizing the importance of quality sleep for recovery and overall wellbeing.
Dedicating time to plan and prepare nutritious meals, rather than relying on quick, less healthy options.
I share my personal experiences and insights to highlight how these strategies can make a significant difference in fitness progress and overall health.
