#110 - The Right Way to Recover After Strength Training (Rest, Fuel & Tips for Faster Recovery)
Manage episode 471952188 series 3449217
How long does it really take to recover between strength training sessions? The answer isn't always straightforward. Your recovery time depends on factors like how hard you’re training, your stress levels, sleep, protein intake, and more.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
- The biggest mistakes women make when it comes to recovery
- Why protein is essential (even on rest days!)
- How stress and sleep impact muscle growth
- How to speed up recovery so you can train harder, sooner
Plus, I’m sharing my own recent experience with not giving myself enough recovery time—and what happened when I went into the gym too soon.
🎧 Listen now to learn how to optimize your recovery and get stronger, faster!
