Welcome to today's episode of Impetus Health! We're excited to discuss the topic that we are talking about today, RECOVERY! Recovery is a massive topic covering several different layers of health and fitness, training, and competition. There are several different types and ways to recover but we believe that there is the best method to recovery for each different type in each individual. There is a lot of mythology out there about the best way to recover and about how to recover and these special recovery tools and everything else and we discuss that a little bit in part two. But today for part one we are talking about how do you prepare your body for competition through nutrition, exercise, training, and movement. Part one of this podcast will discuss how you prepare your body the week leading up to, and during the competition to optimize your abilities. Check this out and let us know what you think, part 2 will be coming next week! www.vulcanmovement.com www.vulcannutrition.com @thevulcanmovement and @thevulcannutrition Ellie= @elliehiller Sean= @seanhiller_physio #enhancewhatmovesyou --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vulcanmovement/support
