Oh my daughter, I have lower body extensions for you! If you have ever done a live workout or a video in the app, you know that these are my must-have moves to recover! And no matter what your training routine looks like, it is very important that you focus on recovery.
SOME RECOVERY TIPS
Lately I feel like I’m in constant pain, but I love it…. It’s like a constant reminder of all the hard work I’ve done, but there’s a fine line between a good wound and an “I can’t move” wound.
Firstly, if you do not ride with foam after training, you need to change that, take your foam roller while your body is still warm and roll! This is one of the most effective ways to relieve aching muscles. Go out when you watch TV and treat yourself to a little rollout. It feels so good and will help improve flexibility and mobility.
And if you need a little help getting used to using the roller, I just wrote a blog about six of my favorite body zones. Check it out! Combine your rolling session with these lower body stretches and you will feel great.
Oh, and you also know that there are stretching and active recovery videos in the LSF app, right? When this challenge is over and you have a little more time on your hands, I strongly recommend that you consult it. My daughter, recovery is so IMPORTANT! Give love to your body!
