Recovery


Back to single day workouts this week which feels like nothing compared to the last couple weeks where I was extremely busy with a double day almost every day.  I feel my body recovering which feels great.   Plus I started doing ice baths for 10 min every other day.  While this is one of the more painful things I have to do (feels like Fran), it only lasts a few minutes then you go numb.  I used to do these in college football and they truly help.  I feel so much better afterward.  I think it is my favorite thing to help recovery, better than anything else I have ever used.  If you have not done it, try it!

Here have been my workouts this week so far.  All have felt good, and feeling very recovered!
