The Science of Repair
Muscle growth and fitness gains don't happen during the workout—they happen during the recovery period that follows.
- Replenish glycogen stores with smart carbohydrates.
- Prioritize protein intake to repair muscle fiber micro-tears.
- Maintain consistent hydration to support metabolic waste removal.
Active Recovery
Gentle movement, like stretching or walking, can actually speed up recovery by increasing blood flow to tired muscles.
Wellness cue
Listen to your nervous system; if you're feeling chronically fatigued, prioritize sleep over another high-intensity session.
"Recovery is not a day off; it's a critical part of the training program."
