Why Recovery Counts

Recovery enables adaptation, reduces injury risk, and supports consistent training.

Key Principles

  • Prioritize sleep (7–9 hours/night).
  • Refuel and rehydrate promptly.
  • Use active recovery and mobility work.

Immediately After Training

  • Cool down with light movement.
  • Stretch major muscle groups.
  • Eat carbs + protein within 30 minutes.

Ongoing Recovery

  • Schedule regular rest days.
  • Incorporate massage, foam rolling, or NMT.
  • Monitor fatigue and adjust load as needed.

Common Mistakes

  • Skipping recovery nutrition.
  • Training through pain or illness.
  • Neglecting sleep quality.
