Recovery Week

Rest and recovery week is upon us again and it's time to allow our bodies to recuperate from our recent training cycle. Recovery is an important aspect of training that is often overlooked and misunderstood. It has been my experience that those members who train consistently, with intensity appreciate this week.  In the gym we will focus primarily on alignment, flexibility and mobility. This is the perfect time to go for a massage or acupuncture to facilitate recovery. I have included a photo of an acupuncture session I did with Kerri K last week to set the tone for recovery week. Another good idea is to get outside for some light jogging or walking. Take the energy that you would throw into your workouts and direct them towards yourself in different ways. Eat strong foods and make sure you are sufficiently hydrated. Read something that will motivate you and set the stage for the next cycle. Think about what you want to accomplish and set goals on how you will achieve it. Recharge those batteries and get ready for the spring.
