Recovery

How you decide to recover is up to you.

To achieve optimal training, you need to have a proper amount of rest time between each training session. Many amazing changes happen within your body on these rest and recovery days. If you’re training 1-2 hours a day, your body is still doing the work in the other 22-23 hours of the day.

Studies have shown that a minimum of 48 hours of rest is optimal to allow a muscle group to recover and prevent further injuries. Also, keep in mind that too long of a break can lead to detraining and muscle loss. Take advantage of your rest days to relax and enjoy yourself!

Ways to recover

• Hot bath or jacuzzi
• Ice bath (more for injuries like swelling)
• Self-myofascial release (SMFR)
• Static stretching
