How do I elevate my recovery?

How you train is just part of the picture. To push your performance throughout the programs and maximize results, recovery is an essential part of your routine. Start with these essentials:

• Embrace rest days so your body has a chance to replenish glycogen stores and repair and grow muscle tissue. You have 4 workouts each week during Elevate and Elevate+, allowing plenty of space to take a rest day.
• Use active recovery to increase blood flow to your muscles and reduce soreness. This starts with your cool-down after each workout, then make use of our recovery sessions on your rest days.
• Make sure you’re getting plenty of quality sleep. This is the main event for muscle recovery – when your body does its best repair and growth. If you need an assist to get some good slumber, hit play on the Power Sleep series with Chris.
