The recovery of our members/athletes depends on a number of factors.
First of all, if you are beginning your exercise journey, then its always advisable to start gently. If you begin with more gentle training sessions, then you will need less recovery as you are breaking down less muscle tissue.
Once you begin training harder, you will be giving much more of an effort, so your recovery and how you handle it becomes much more important.
A really tough session will require you to put much more emphasis on eating really highly quality nutritious food. This will serious help you to replenish your energy levels and the broken down muscle tissue from your exercise session.
Then don’t forget, you will need to exercise a few times a week so you need to get ready for the next one.
This is why sleeping really well in the week becomes paramount.
Most people don’t realise that your body actually improves and repairs itself in your sleep. Its in your deep sleep that you really develop your biggest gains.
You can see a massive difference between those who eat and sleep well, compared to those who don’t pay attention to their food and always keep late nights.
I see a big difference between those who travel a lot for a living because eating on the road often means eating hotel food, petrol stations snacks etc which will do absolutely nothing for your performance in training (because you wont have the energy and wont feel up to it), and usually lead to weight gain.
This can become a vicious circle.
The equation to success is food and drink, training and eating, sounds simple but not many people get it right all the time.
This is what we are here for.
