TIP OF THE DAY

You should not be pushing through pain when exercising. Pain is your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right. It could be too heavy, poor form, or lack of recovery.
Listen to what your body is trying to tell you.
“No Pain, No Gain” is a lie.

Sprained your ankle?

RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) isn’t objectively wrong…. But a far better tactic for aiding in the recovery is pain free active range of motion to increase blood flow and decrease swelling.
Simply put… move your ankle!

You’re allowed to have
“bad days”

“feel off”

Don’t beat yourself up, just come back tomorrow and try again.

A small amount of CONSISTENT exercise every day is better for you in the long term when compared to doing a large amount of exercise only 1 or 2x a week.

REMEMBER
Progress is not linear.
How you feel today might not be as good as yesterday, but if it’s better then last week or last month… That’s progress.
