Many people in Bellville train four or five days a week and then wonder why they feel flat.\n\nStart with the basics. Sleep seven to eight hours, drink water through the day and eat protein after you train. Pieter van der Merwe, our Strength and Conditioning Coach, also swears by an easy walk the day after a heavy leg session.\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">Recovery is where you actually get stronger.

Follow a heavy lift day with light cardio or mobility work. Eat a proper meal within a couple of hours of training, with protein and some carbs. If your legs feel heavy for more than three days, drop the weight a little.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why rest days are part of the plan<\/h4>\n\n<p>Rest days are when muscle repairs and your energy comes back. Skipping them leads to sore joints, bad sleep and flat sessions. We build at least two rest or recovery days into every member&#8217;s programme, and we adjust them if your work week gets busy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hard sessions only work if your body gets time to rebuild.
