Today we’ve got coach Ali with a handful of tips to keep in mind as we inch closer and closer to the Open!

Recovery is key to prepare before and between open workouts! Here are my “Big 3 to Recovery”
1) Sleep and rest: Adequate and quality sleep is important to prepare your body for maximal output, as well as taking a rest day from high intensity workouts one or two days before you plan to attack the workout.
2) Nutrition and hydration: Make sure to prioritize protein and carbs before and after you workout in addition to drinking plenty of water with an electrolyte source
3) Mobility and bodywork! Proper warmup and cool down helps to prime range of motion and speed up the recovery process. You can always pay a visit to your favorite coach/chiropractor, Ali, at Columbus Spine and Sport Center 🤗 Rumor has it they’ll be providing free soft tissue treatments after 24.2! 👀

We asked our coaches what they recommend leading up to the first Open workout in 2024. Today’s our MVC coach Nate!

“Don’t eat like trash the day before!”

Nutrient-rich foods provide a sustained release of energy, helping to prevent fatigue during an event. Avoiding sugary or processed foods can help prevent energy crashes. Eating a healthy meal the day before that includes adequate protein also promotes muscle repair and recovery!

P.S: We also have that you can sign up for and get your meals delivered to the gym! 💪
