MARCH fitness challenge week 3

R = RECOVERY. REST. REDUCE YOUR STRESS

For the next week (March 10-16) I want you to work on the letter M, the letter A, and the letter R.

Recovery after your workouts is crucial for injury prevention! Sleep, hydration, foam rolling, sauna, massage, and stretching are some recovery ideas.

Schedule your Rest days each week so you aren’t overdoing it. It is not necessary to go “hard” with your workouts 7 days a week.

Reducing your stress can be tricky and is personal to YOU! Make a list of the things that stress you out and then determine if you can control or eliminate any of those stressors. Find activities that help you relax to reduce your stress. Yoga, mediation, reading, journaling, prayer, grounding and daily sunshine are some examples.
