Hello extraordinary humans, Happy new year everyone, I hope your holidays were pleasant and restful! I got the flu..which was not what we thought was going to happen but it just meant I celebrated a week later so I’m still eating holiday chocolate :) New Years is typically a time for goal setting and reflection and this year I wanted to share one of the latter, and something I have been reflecting on over the past month: What difficulty setting are you selecting? In life, in training, for a...

Hello extraordinary humans, Yesterday I gave you a worksheet all about taking responsibility around rest, part of which was some troubleshooting how to choose rest when you can’t truly stop. Today I want to give you a few exercises that can help you re-center and regulate your nervous system. These are great for facilitating a switch into the rest and digest phase of your nervous system, something that is key for recovering. They are great at any time but particularly useful post training and...

Hello extraordinary humans, Let’s talk rest! So I popped a poll up on IG this weekend and the top tactic people wanted to learn about was what to do if you need to rest but can’t stop. And I completely understand why! First off, we are not taught to train in a holistic sense, many of us encounter the movement practices we love through the lens of hard work only. Secondly life is busy AF and especially if your practice is also your career it can be really hard to choose rest. So let’s get to...

Hello extraordinary humans, Earlier this week I talked about how eating more is the #1 thing to do to improve your ability to recover immediately. I also spoke about the 30 minute post workout window and its importance in recovering well. To review: Within 30 minutes of the WORK portion of your training (so not necessarily when you are done, done if you tend towards a longer low intensity cold down. This window is after you are finished with the hard work portion.) ~ 25-30g of protein and a...

Hello extraordinary humans, Looking to immediately up your odds of recovering and actually getting those gains? Add a meal. YUP, it’s that simple. There are many, many other things that can be introduced to improve your body’s ability to recover but taking in more food is the number one thing I suggest. Particularly if the person I am working with is a menstruating human and/or is involved in an art or sport with aesthetic focuses. It’s way easier to end up under-fuelling than we think, and...

Hello extraordinary humans, I’m going to be blunt here. Training without recovering is a waste of your time and ultimately recipe for injury and burnout. It’s essentially digging a hole while pretending you’re building a sand castle. Eventually you’ll get stuck and wonder where that beautiful thing you were creating went so wrong and how you ended up at the bottom of a hole. This is probably not news, but just because we know that recovery is important doesn't make it easy to do and it...
