DAY 1, WEEK 1
Today was hard. For many of us, it was like, what-the-H#@L-hard! But you will make it through. You will see results and you will be FXB strong. After class, look around you. We all remember that first day
feeling. The energy is high, you do not know what to expect and everything
seems to go so FAST! Remember you are not alone. We are all here to help you
reach your goals. Here are a few tips to help you recover and reach your
goals:
Replace Fluids. You lose a lot of fluid during an FXB
workout. You should be replacing lost fluids during exercise. Filling up
after exercise is so important and it is an easy way to boost your recovery. Water supports every metabolic function and aides in nutrient transfer in the body.
Having plenty of water will improve every body function (even those jabs and
rounds!).
Eat Properly. After depleting your energy stores with
exercise, you need to refuel if you expect your body to recover, repair tissues,
get stronger and be ready for the next challenge. This is even more important
when you are working out at Farrell’s. Ideally, you should try to eat within
30-60 minutes of the end of your workout and make sure you include some
high-quality protein and complex carbohydrate.
Stretch. After a tough FXB workout, light stretching
helps your body adjust to your new routine. This is a simple and fast way to
help your muscles recover.
Get High Quality Sleep. While you sleep, amazing
things are taking place in your body. Optimal sleep is essential for anyone who
exercises regularly. During sleep, your body produces Growth Hormone (GH) which
is largely responsible for tissue growth and repair.
Great job today!
See you tomorrow,
