Here’s what it looks like:
✅ Walk & mobility work: I starts with a morning walk to get blood flowing, plus gentle stretching and mobility drills to keep joints happy and muscles loose.
✅ Protein-packed meals: Recovery is just as much about fueling properly. I always load up on high-quality protein, healthy fats, and anti-inflammatory foods like wild salmon, leafy greens, and bone broth.
✅ Red light therapy & sauna: These help reduce inflammation, support circulation, and speed up muscle repair. I'm all about using science-backed recovery tools to maximize results.
✅ Active recovery: No hardcore lifting, but I still move—think pilates, yoga, or a light bodyweight workout to keep the body engaged without overdoing it.
✅ Prioritizing sleep: Muscle isn’t built in the gym—it’s built in recovery. I especially focus on quality sleep with a solid nighttime routine: magnesium, blue light blockers, and a cool, dark room.
Recovery isn’t about doing nothing—it’s about doing the right things to come back stronger. What’s your favorite recovery habit?
