5 Minute Stretch and Recovery Routine!
Happy Tuesday Squadies! Today I will be sharing a leanmazing post workout, 5 minute stretch and recovery routine! After a tough workout it is SO important for us to stretch our bodies and give it the chance to recover.
Before we get into the stretch routine…
Why is Leancovery important anyway?!
Along with a few full leancovery sessions a week, adding a quick post-workout stretch routine to your routine can make a world of difference! Stretching can help your body recover FASTER so you can continue to perform at your best each and every day! When do stretch and leancovery workouts, not only are our bodies recovering faster, but we can start seeing the results we want to see faster! A good recovery routine can also help boost your mood and energy levels. With just a quick 5 minute routine, you can start feeling your best and set yourself up for lean success!
What kind of stretches should be incorporated?
When doing a post-workout stretch and recovery routine, the exercises you do should be STATIC! Static usually means exercises where you are holding a position or extending your muscles for a specific amount of time. Doing static stretches after your workout can really help give your muscles the release they need after a tough workout!
Now that you have the perfect leancovery workout, what kind of workouts should you do BEFORE this leancovery?!
My FAVOURITE kind of workouts are high intensity and combine a good amount of both cardio and strength training! SO many of my squadies have seen success with this type of workout! One of the BEST things about HIIT workouts is that they are EFFECTIVE and QUICK! All you need is a short 30 minutes a day to get in a great workout!
Where Can I find these workouts?!
