How to take rest / active recovery days & why | #139
In this solo episode I speak on the importance of rest and recovery days, and my personal rest and active recovery day protocols. Whether you’re a pro athlete, weekend warrior, or not involved in sports as all - I think rest and recovery days are incredibly important, and I tend to even structure my work routine, not just training routine, with the same approach. Topics: Terminology, such as: nervous system, parasympathetic vs sympathetic states, periodization, volume & intensity, cognitive stress Why discipline doesn't mean not taking any days off (and toxic hustle culture) Why athletes / workaholics often struggle to take days off How often I take rest days How often I take active recovery days and what I do for training on those days Self-regulation and being reactive with your training schedule Deload weeks and taking an offseason Get a Whoop band & one month of free (how I have tracked my recovery for >4 years): join.whoop.com/allport Follow ALL IN on IG: instagram.com/theallinproject
