Lets talk rest recovery and mobility!
And no i dont mean being able to get your legs over your head 🤣
So u train hard? Lift heavy? Gym everyday? Classes everyday? But are you seeing results?
Burning the candle at both ends by training hard and not fueling or resting enough actually eats into that muscle your trying to create or it will make your body hang onto the fat your trying to burn 🔥!
😴🛏Feeling sore after workouts can be a sign that you tried something new or pushed yourself harder than usual but it can also mean your body needs more time to recover and maybe your sleep quality is poor there is many reasons for this caffine intake, screen time, stress, perimenopause the list goes on! Its time to take a look at your daily and nightly routine and narrow it down to find out why and work on it!
🫒🥙The nutrition side of health and fitness is just as (if not more) important than working out! Fueling your body with enough of the right food for your workouts will help you to grow and recover quickly, start small and just try and reach your protein goal everyday, 2gs of protein per kg bodyweight, when that becomes a habit watch your carb intake eat more on training days less carbs on rest days try and eat a rainbow of fruits and veg! Cut out highly proccessed foods from your daily diet. Then your on the right track!
🦵Finally lets talk mobility! When we lift heavy or run hard our muscles tighten up and shorten, causing sometimes painful stiff tight muscles, practicing mobility on rest days will help you to keep your flexibility and range of motion this helps to prevent injury by loosening up the muscles, tendons and ligaments thus protecting our joints! Maintaining mobility into our golden years is key in being able to live independently and maintain a good quality of life!
Practicing mobility frequently will only take 15/20 mins per day! Treat it like you would a muscle group!
Take care of yourself! Building strength can take time and a lot more factors can affect the process not just how much you lift! 😘
