I’m not sure about you, but
I used to always think of workout / CrossFit recovery as an
afterthought. It was all about the workout!
Well, that all changed when I started doing the competitive CrossFit training from Invictus.
What I started realizing was that more was involved in CrossFit recovery than simply taking your post workout supplements, and eating lots of quality food.
If you want to get the most out of your workout/CrossFit recovery you have to take a number of things seriously. And the biggest starts with listening to your body. If you’re not in-tune with you body, you will never know when your gains are going to stop, and overtraining is going to set in. It can happen faster than you think. And it will stop you in your tracks.
The common signs of overtraining are:
- Having a hard time sleeping.
- Not wanting to eat even though you should be hungry.
- Having no desire to workout, or do much in general.
- Zero sex drive. Yep, all gone.
- And of course, feeling sore, tight, and generally bad.
Doesn’t sound too good does it?
Proper recovery is a big deal, so listen up.
