It’s no surprise that when you are stiff and sore, you don’t move as well, lift as strong as you do when your body feels good.
An overtrained body does not perform as well as a well-rested and recovered body does.
I believe rest and recovery are underused, people want to go 100 miles an hour until they burn out or injury themselves and that’s just not training smarter.
If you take away one of your workout days to incorporate some mobility and stretching I guarantee your workouts will improve and you will feel better.
Here’s a preview of one of Adam’s mobility sessions.
Adam does stretching and mobility for 15 minutes every morning with our oldest daughter Madison 5 x week.
