#38: How to measure if you're recovering properly


Listen Later

We spend a lot of time talking about what to do IN your workouts for great results without wearing down your joints. But what should we be doing outside of your workouts to make sure your workouts are creating the strongest impact?

It turns out, the time outside of your workouts is equally as important as the workouts themselves. Recovery is 50% of the equation.

So that means the efficacy of your workouts is only as good as your ability to recover from them.

This episode is all about recovery.

In this episode, we'll talk about:
- Why everyone should prioritize recovery
- Should you workout when you're sore
- My recommendations for recovery days
- How many recovery days to take
- A couple of cool tools you can use to measure how recovered your system is before you go into your workout
