So after I did Longevity Games last weekend with some of the awesome Fruci Fit ladies, I posted a few things to help with recovery which I thought I would share with you today for the main reason that…
These are relevant regardless of whether you want to do a fitness event or just want to get back into fitness (have some fun doing so), get more energy, and make everyday tasks easier.
Especially as when you start back up?
You may ache a bit more than normal 😉
1) Protein (so original, Matt) . I know, but it works. Aim for protein at every meal or if you want to track and be more specific? Aim for 1.2 – 1.6g of protein per kg of your bodyweight over the day e.g. if you weigh 100kg that would be 120g of protein, for example Good sources include lean meats, fish, mackerel, eggs, Greek yoghurt, soy, and mackerel. Beans and pulses can help too.
If you would like my guide: “30 ways to increase your protein intake” just reply with ‘protein’ and I will send it over.
2) Epsom salt bath / bath. Take that time for you…
3) Sleep – don’t skimp on this and sleep hygiene matters. (Reply with ‘sleep’ if you’d like my free guide: “14 ways to improve your sleep”)
4) REMEMBER YOUR WINS- you’re human. And you’re probably focussing on the things you didn’t do well yesterday. Saying “I could have done xyz” . I get it. And that’s great you want to improve. But don’t forget YOU DID IT
give yourself a massive (postman) Pat on the back. You did it. You got out of your comfort zone!
so well done.
Remember something is always better than nothing!
