Rest & Recovery
All Batteries Need to Recharge...
When following any type of exercise program, one of the most important aspects of the program is planned rest and recovery. This is necessary to achieve maximum gains and unfortunately, this is most often over looked. Everyone can feel the benefits of exercise whether its training with weights or on the track, but the benefits of proper rest and recovery are slightly less tangible.
Proper recovery is key to allowing the body to repair muscle and connective tissues broken down during exercise, as well as restoring energy stores that have been depleted. In addition, adequate recovery will permit full restoration and increase energy producing enzymes in our muscles, ensuring that we get the largest gain from our fitness program.
