LESSON 4 · Exercise Science 101
Building Recovery Into Your Plan
Make recovery as intentional as your training:
- Schedule rest days — at least 1-2 per week with no intense training
- Prioritize sleep above all — no recovery tool compensates for chronic sleep deprivation
- Eat enough — under-eating is the most common recovery saboteur, especially protein and total calories
- Manage stress — psychological stress uses the same recovery resources as physical stress.
