#lensfit let’s talk recovery
Did you know that recovery is an essential part of training? Much of the benefit we get from the workouts we do happen as we recover, not during the workout. This means that things like what we eat and how much sleep we’re getting are super important considerations to make the most of our hard work.
Over the last couple of years I’ve focussed in on making sure I get at least 7.5hrs sleep a night, 9 if I’m really fatigued. For me this goes hand in hand with training, when I train hard I sleep well. When I sleep well I’ve got the energy and mood to train hard.
Another key element for me is the sauna. I find it very beneficial for muscle recovery after weight training and I sleep like a baby if I sauna in the evenings. Just gotta make sure I cool down properly before getting into bed.
Anyone else have recovery tips they’d like to share?
