Recovery Day Protocol
Dedicate one day per week entirely to recovery — sleep, stretching, light movement, and mental rest. Champions understand that growth happens during recovery, not during training.
Steps
Block one day per week as a non-negotiable recovery day
Sleep in or go to bed early — prioritize 9+ hours
Do light movement only: walking, gentle yoga, stretching
Eat nourishing whole foods — recovery day is not cheat day
Avoid screens for at least 2 hours — let your nervous system reset
