Recovery Reimagined - Part 1
What is Recovery?
I have spent a lot of time thinking on how to explain Recovery to people. I have thought about leading in with myth-busting on protein, joining the “more sleep” brigade, and even thought about going to war with the anti-CWI (cold water immersion) populus. But, none of those sat right with me. I don’t want to make this a “side taking” piece. I want this to change your perspective on not only how you understand recovery, but also how you understand life. What I want most is for you, after reading this, to reflect on your life and immediately know how to change food, routines, intensities, etc. in a way that optimizes your living experience and increases your capacity to truly live a full and healthy life. For us to grasp this concept of recovery, we must first understand what life is.
