3 DAYS into your programme and many of you have been feeling tired after it. This is normal. The big change will create the need for a big effort in your body, so you will have to step up to the plate and deliver a big performance each time.
ONE of the biggest factors you may be ignoring is your need for RECOVERY. Two massive things required for this. Eating right straight after a workout is imperative! Getting protein and carbs in after a workout helps you recover quicker, heal your muscles quicker and get energy back for the next workout.
SLEEP-this is massively underrated. If you are not sleeping enough, then you will not recover anywhere near as well as you need to. If you don’t get enough sleep, then taking naps in the day is perfectly acceptable and to be encouraged.
These 2 recovery strategies are things you need to make happen RIGHT NOW. You will sleep more after a tough workout, your body does go through far more nutrients and energy for a big workout.
There are IMMEDIATE big boosts you can give yourself right now so please let the science of recovery really help you.
Stay strong,
Keri
