WODprep Strategy Top Tips:

In CrossFit, it’s not always about hitting every workout as hard as you possible can. Yes, having some healthy competition every once in a while in class is great, but overall, it will have more of a detrimental effect on your performance. That’s the beauty of zone 2.

Steady cardio based movements where you can just “zonnnee out” is perfect to level up your game PLUS is fantastic for your mental health outside of the gym. So, let’s start the weekend right by hitting this number! Enjoy! 

 

In this video, we cover our top 5 strategies for optimal recovery, from LEAST IMPORTANT to MOST IMPORTANT! Here is a quick rundown of what we discuss…

Recovery is not just what you do in the 30 minutes after a workout. Conventional ‘recovery tips’ tend to focus on a very short post workout period and are focused on thinks like ‘do a cool down’, ‘do some stretching or mobility’, and ‘get protein right away.’ These are all fine, but do not really address the bigger recovery picture.

True recovery is a much longer process in which your body takes all the stress you just put it through and rebuilds itself stronger. Your energy systems, cardiovascular system, nervous system, muscles, bones, joints, and brain all need resources and time to properly recover.
