Recovery is so important! It is often overlooked because its sometimes challenging when you are on a roll to take a day off. But that is when the muscle growth happens and when your body is able to catch up to all the hard work that you put in.

Did you know that if you're not recovering properly, you may not be able to see the results that you want to see? While you exercise, muscle is being broken down and gets tiny tears in them. Its in the recovery that it is being built back up and your body is making it easier for you to make progress.

So next time you are questioning whether you should take a rest day, the fact that you are questioning it may mean that its time!

Todays routine is for those days where you want to rest but you also feel the need to move your body, get the blood flowing, and stretch out the soreness.

A couple other ideas to help reduce soreness:
Epsom salt bath - this is great even to help your muscles relax so that you can sleep better at night

Contrast shower - taking the last 5 minutes of your shower to alternate between hot and cold (concentrating the shower head on the area of your body that is most sore) - this helps bring more blood flow to the region and helps flush out the soreness.

Drink more water - this one is the most underrated but your muscles and body need lots of water to recover and bounce back. Drink lots of water when you start to feel soreness coming on

Increase your protein - when you increase your dietary protein, this provides your muscles with the fuel they need to build back up!

Sleep - do your best to get 6-8 hours of sleep at night for proper recovery and ultimate release of growth hormone! This will help you recover, help your muscles grow, and help your metabolism!
