Post work-out recovery is a vital component of each and every training routine if you’re looking to improve and develop your performance, no matter what level you’re currently performing at. By prioritising recovery, you’ll be able to train more often and at a higher intensity without the detrimental effects of overtraining.

Whether you’re building muscle or endurance, you’re increasing the stress and workload on your body. Recovery helps your body to adapt to better respond to that stress, helping you to hit PBs on the barbell and on the treadmill.

Optimum recovery starts with a focus on three key areas: refuel, rebuild and rehydrate. Wherever you’re at with your training regime, these three simple takeaways will ensure you turn up to your next work out raring to go.
