Our bodies don’t get better, fitter, and/or leaner during workouts. They get better between workouts, as they rebuild and recover. I know...mind blown!
We do not think of making gains during our “rest” or “off” days, but that is exactly when you are making gains and progress!
Recovery doesn’t happen by accident. In our busy and demanding lives, we have to chase it.
There are many ways to recover, including good nutrition. And they all add up.

ALL recovery is good recovery. Recovery activities (such as gentle movement, extra sleep, etc.) add up.
Focus on recovery, replenishment, rebuilding and nourishing all areas of your life, both physically and emotionally! There are 5 key areas you should always be trying to nourish:
- Healthy Eating Habits
- Physical Activity
- Career
- Relationships
- Developing a spiritual practice (this can be anything from meditation, to yoga, to Tai Chi to attending church)!
Focus on basic recovery techniques, e.g. sticking to healthy nutrition habits, using sleep ritual to get enough good quality sleep, etc.
