Wellness Hub / Recovery & Mobility Playbook
Recovery Ongoing reference All Levels

Training breaks you down. Recovery builds you back up. This guide covers everything between sessions: sleep optimization, foam rolling and stretching protocols, active recovery days, and signs you're overtraining. Because the people who recover best are the ones who can train hardest, longest.

01

Sleep Optimization

7-9 hours is non-negotiable for serious training. Room temperature: 65-68°F. Blue light cutoff 1 hour before bed. Magnesium and zinc supplementation considerations. Sleep tracking metrics that actually matter.

02

Foam Rolling Protocol

10-minute daily routine targeting major muscle groups. Spend 60-90 seconds per area. Focus on quads, IT band, glutes, thoracic spine, and lats. Pre-training: light passes for activation. Post-training: deeper pressure for release.

03

Mobility Routine

15-minute mobility flow for training days. Hip openers, thoracic rotations, ankle mobility drills, shoulder pass-throughs. Designed to improve squat depth, overhead position, and hip hinge mechanics over 4-6 weeks of consistent practice.

04

Overtraining Red Flags

Persistent fatigue beyond normal DOMS. Decreased performance over 2+ weeks. Disrupted sleep despite being tired. Elevated resting heart rate. Mood changes and irritability. When to take a full rest week vs. deload.
