I believe everyone reading this understand the importance of exercise. This is why we show up, work hard, and push outside our comfort levels. Training is the important stimulus to cause adaptation. But its what we are doing with the rest of our day that will determine how our bodies adapt. Fueling and recovery, are in my opinion, just as important as training. Fueling is simple, are you eating adequate amounts and quality of food to fuel your body for the changes you are looking for. With proper food you will give your body the nutrients it needs to push hard in a workout as well as the nutrients to help your body burn fat and build new muscle. This is where recovery comes in. The fat loss and muscle building occur when we are sleeping, if the duration or quality of our sleep is lacking, so will our recovery.

If you need help with either of these just ask a coach for some advice. We also offer nutrition coaching for those who want a coach to help guide them to find long lasting healthy eating habits that will allow you to move towards the goals that you have set. We also have all had experience with various issues with sleep and I am sure we can relate and offer some insight on things that might help.

Speaking of recovery, its not just sleep. Meditation and relaxation techniques, help with lowering stress and promoting more recovery as well.
