How To Recover Better: Do Ice Baths And Massage Guns Actually Work?

Training breaks down your muscles. It's the recovery process that rebuilds them even stronger. Your body needs time to repair, to refuel, and to recharge. If you're constantly pushing without giving yourself the chance to recover, you're setting yourself up for burnout, injuries, and ultimately, setbacks.Recovery isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of intelligence. It's about working smarter, not just harder. And recovering hard means embracing it with the same dedication and focus you bring to your workouts. It means getting quality sleep, nourishing your body with proper nutrition, and finding ways to manage stress.You're not cutting corners by taking a rest day or practicing active recovery. You're investing in your long-term progress. Just as a car can't run on an empty tank, you can't perform at your best if you're running on fumes. Follow @lousavill_physio on Instagram.

Words And Phrases We Don't Use: How Language Creates Realities

Words And Phrases We Don't Use: How Language Creates Realities

In the world of health and wellness, the words we use can have a powerful impact on our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. This is because words have the ability to create reality, both positive and negative. When we use positive language and focus on what we want to achieve, we are more likely to take actions that align with our goals and see positive results. On the other hand, using negative language or focusing on what we don't want can create limiting beliefs and hinder our progress.For this reason, at Rebuild Health and Fitness, we are mindful of the language we use when working with our clients. We avoid using negative or restrictive language that can create feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. Instead, we focus on empowering language that encourages positive action and reinforces our clients' strengths and capabilities.Follow us @rebuildhealthandfitness on InstagramCheck the YouTube channel too.
