For the past three weeks we have talked about the different steps to your road to fitness. We started with CONSISTENCY, then discussed ACCURACY. Last week we talked about INTENSITY, and this week we are discussing the final step, RECOVERY. This step is crucial to your extended health and ends up leading right back into consistency. If you do not recover correctly and get injured, then you will not be able to be consistent with your workouts. Recovery can mean a number of things, and I suggest you take a look at some resources offered by online coaches. Kelly Starrett is a great resource and has a book on recovery called “Becoming a Supple Lepoard”. Sleep is another crucial step to recovery. Enhancing your sleeping environment (your bedroom) can lead to you being well rested, resulting in better fitness recovery. Matthew Walker has a great book on this called “Why We Sleep”.

In order to make the most out of your workout, you want to make sure that you are doing all of the movements and exercises correctly. This may require getting a coach, or even something as simple as watching some YouTube videos. Doing 20 perfect pushups can be a lot better for you than doing 100 pushups with bad form. If you are going to put in the time to work out, you want to make sure that you are making the most out of it, you owe it to yourself.
