In this episode, we're breaking down the importance of recovery, and some things that any CrossFitter should do to lower the stress on their body and get the most from their workouts.
We're bringing in special guests Coach Evan Coachman and Dr. J.J.
In case you don't have a chance to write down everything that's covered, here are some notes for this episode:
Recovery Planning:
Move 1- Walk, EMOM (Day after Open workout), Very Light lifting
Move 2- Yin Yoga (ROMWod) Same day of hard workout and morning after.
Move 3- Roll, LaCross ball, Floss any painful parts
Food - Smoothie (Ginger and Turmeric)
Food - Hydrate (Nuun’s not high sugar drinks like Gator-aid) 2/3 body weight in ounces in water
Food - Eat all the food! Increase calories after an open workout get with Morgan
Passive - Cold / Hot (cool soak-hot shower) or Epsom salt bath
Passive - Meditation (breath work) basic don’t make this very hard there are a ton of apps just breath and relax for 5-15 min
Passive - SLEEP!!!!!!!! GO to be early
How this translates to everyday CrossFit
In a perfect world, (that means no other obligation, kids activities, etc... So basically, do what you can):
Weekly: Cold (soak) / Hot (shower), Long yoga session, Rest Day (yoga still allowed for active recovery)
Daily: Pick 1-3 to do daily depending on your schedule but at least one per day
