Schedule Updates & Recovery Week Reminder
As Christmas approaches and the holiday season is upon us, we just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page for our last recovery week of the year and let you know we have posted the 2012 Training Calendar.
We are running a full training schedule right up through Friday December 23rd, with the week between Christmas and New Years as a scheduled recovery week.
We will be back to training on Monday January 2nd!
If you are a fairly new client, you may have never heard of, never mind experienced what a recovery week is all about.
It is always amazing for me to see the new skills, strength, stability and stamina (how’s THAT for some alliteration?) that each training phase brings our clients.
One thing that many of us have a hard time wrapping our head around is the concept of recovery. To get some of you to take a week off is like we asked you to stop breathing, but it’s the hard chargers that often need it the most.
This time of year is a great time to schedule a week off of training for a number of reasons. Lack of sleep, added stress, and less than optimal nutrition choices makes it even tougher than normal to recover adequately from your training.
At Get Fit NH, we are not just trying to beat you up, no matter what you think. (Can you believe someone actually called me “mean” today?)
The point is to get Better, and getting better means recovering from training session to training session, week to week, month to month, and training cycle to training cycle.
And that means taking a week off from training a few times a year.
Over the years we have written much on the subject of recovery, so don’t just blow it off as unimportant.
We as your coaches are responsible for providing you with the best training program that we can.
You are responsible for executing that plan, and part of that plan and thus part of your responsibility is recovery.
Here are some links to the info you need to know to have a great recovery week. One that will leave you refreshed and ready to attack the next phase of training.
Read up, and then Make It Happen!
