When we talk about training hard, everyone knows how to do this, and everyone knows the next day or the day after you’re going to be feeling it!
What some people are FAILING to do is still train the next day. Now by train I’m not talking about go to squat another PR (personal record)- although some people have trained themselves to be able to do so…What I am I’m talking about is recovery training als known as Regeneration.
There are many methods to this, but to simply combat soreness, start feeling better, and be prepared for your next training session I would first try these simple steps:
- Myofascial manipulation or Foam Roll- This helps loosens the muscles, while it may initially hurt like hell, the benefits out weigh it, so do it!
- Stretch- whether you do fascial stretching, static stretching, or dynamic- you should do something to help loosen you up and feel “released”.
- Break a sweat- When I tell people to move around, some assume they’ll walk around, but I haven’t found this to be beneficial. What I found is that breaking a sweat, however you do it, whether it’s calisthenics, biking, jogging, jump rope, etc…you need to get the heart pumping enough to break a sweat, this will increase new blood to the muscles which will buffer out the waste products accumulated and bring new nutrients to help expedite your recovery.
To end, the next time you finish a tough workout make sure you try these method or give email us to find out about the Fusion Regeneration Method.
