Many go through peaks and valleys when it comes to motivation. You may have months where you feel unstoppable when it’s time to hit the course or get in the gym. Some days the thought alone is exhausting. It is important to train hard, but it is equally important to allow your body to recover.
Working out has many physical and mental benefits to the human body. It is a great tool for stress management, but too much of a good thing can result in injury, increased cortisol levels, fatigue, performance decline and more. When you allow your body to recover, you allow your muscles to use that time to repair and replenish muscle glycogen (energy stores).
A great tool to help aid in recovery is the handheld PlayMakar MVP Percussion Massager. This tool is designed to relieve muscle tightness and tension. The massager increases range of motion and decreases recovery time to help you perform better and manage pain.
