Rest & recovery are KEY to allow the body time to recover from hard workouts and are overlooked by so many! If you've hit a plateau, have extreme fatigue or have reduced performance it may be time to take a rest or recovery day! Click to JUMP to the stretches
Incorporate 1-2 days of complete rest or light walking, swimming, biking and or foam rolling, stretching & mobility work into your fitness routine.
Even I tend to neglect stretching from time to time, so I've been incorporating it into my cooldowns and I've seen such a difference in how I feel! Especially after really tough workouts I tend to have less overall soreness and less fatigue the next day.
If you've been meaning to do more stretching, this is your sign! Here's a couple of my favorite lower body stretches with an upper body sequence coming next week! Be sure to subscribe so you never miss a post!
