Inhaltsangabe

Many fitness and wellness resources stress the importance of getting in a good workout. Often overlooked is recovery. Without proper recovery, you won’t be fully prepared for your next session-or reap the full benefits of your training. Smarter Recovery changes that, delivering evidence-based information and practical advice to effectively integrate this essential step into your routine.

Pete McCall, renowned personal trainer and author of the top-selling Smarter Workouts, cuts through the hype to explain what you really need to maximize your recovery and feel your best. With 58 exercises and stretches for recovery and mobility, Smarter Recovery breaks down the most effective tools, techniques, and methods, including these:

• Massage stick
• Foam roller
• Percussion gun
• Static stretching
• Mobility exercises
• Low-intensity strength exercises

You’ll also learn the importance of nutrition and sleep in recovery and how to create a long-term plan to help you feel your best. Case studies further demonstrate how to use the information in applicable situations. Simply put, Smarter Recovery takes the guesswork out of the process to help everyone-from fitness professionals to weekend warriors and fitness enthusiasts-identify the most effective recovery methods for their needs.
