Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #1104: Resting Is Investing: Boost Recovery and Enhance Performance


Listen Later

“Don’t skip rest day!”

That’s not a phrase you often hear, but there’s a valid argument that it should be if you want to boost your fitness and performance.

The key to enhancing your recovery is not another supplement or a fancy gadget, but simply adequate rest.

Quality rest isn't laziness; it's an often-overlooked investment in your wellbeing. 

In this podcast, you’ll learn about data-backed restful activities and why common habits like TV or social media might not offer the restoration you need. 

Tune in, and invest in your rest!
