We’ve all experienced aches and pains in the past. Whether a minor tweak or a more severe injury, these things happen and can be a setback on our fitness journey.

So what should you do when you’re injured? Push through the pain and keep moving forward, or give your body ample rest and time to recover?

For many of us hard-chargers that live our lives with an #EffortOverEverything mindset, fitness can quickly turn into something that becomes very black and white.

We either hit the day’s workout hard or don’t work out at all. This kind of thinking leads to many people underestimating the power of incorporating consistent, easy bouts of movement throughout the day.

This leads us to today’s topic, the often underestimated power of a simple walk.

It’s important to understand that the favorable adaptation you’re looking for isn’t happening while you work out. The magic happens in-between workouts while you recover.

This is why it’s essential that you properly transition to recovery immediately after your training.

What does your cool-down process look like today? Is there anything you can do better?

How can we curb those cravings and stay more consistent with our nutrition regardless of the time of day or day of the week?
