If you can help yourself to recover to the best of your ability after your training sessions then you're well on track to achieveing your fitness goals.
Good recovery allows you to train more regularly, with more intensity, reduces your risk of injury and will improve your mood!
Areas of focus should be...
š“ Sleep - I think everyone has struggles with getting enough sleep in at some point and it can really effect how your training goes. Phone off early, relaxing music, keep your room cool!
šµāāļø š£āāļø Active Recovery - Low intensity work on a bike, rower or light jogging can be an absolute game changer if you're not currently doing it. You can noticeably feel the difference the day after if you've got your blood flowing and shuttled nutrients around.
š„ Diet - 0.8 grams of protein per pound of lean mass is what studies say is the upper limit of what's required, make sure you get it in with some quality carb and fat sources!
