Recovery Techniques Every Athlete Should Know

Why Recovery Matters

Muscles aren’t built in the gym; they are built during recovery. Without proper rest, your body cannot repair the micro-tears caused by exercise.

Best Recovery Methods

• Adequate sleep (7-9 hours)
• Active recovery (walking, light cycling)
• Foam rolling and stretching
• Proper hydration and nutrition
