****REQUIRED PASSCODE: 2222****

Finish the week out right and make the most of the hard work you have done with 30 minutes of recovery! We will work to improve flexibility, increase strength, and expand your range of motion in each session while sharing the knowledge you need to combat muscle soreness, pain, and tension after those hard workouts throughout the week. Proper recovery increases the bloodflow to your muscles, stimulates growth and healing, and retrains your muscles to comfortably get just *that much* longer.

Adaptive Adventures programs offer a variety of high intensity and stregth based fitness programs that encourage you to push your physical limit daily. Though these programs typically involve short warm-up and cool-down exercises that increase and decrease your heart rate, it isn't often that much time is spent on recovery. This program is designed to show you the best ways to stretch and care for yourself after exercise and give your body the help it needs to do its thing and be the best it can be!

Recovery of tissues including muscles, tendons, and other connective fascia is so important and so often overlooked when fitness is considered. Recovery of the body and mind through stretching, meditation, breathwork, massage, myofascial release, pressure point therapies, and other techniques is proven to be effective in diminishing risk of injury, boosting regeneration of both body and nervous tissue, improve mental health, and increase exercise performance.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation & Meditation (12/11):

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and other meditation techniques stimulate the regrowth and repair of neural tissue and give your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) time to recover. Did you know that strenuous exercise, daily stress, and work can overwork and damage the nervous tissue and slow neural functioning? Meditation, breathwork, and rest allow your body to repair these tissues and keep your brain functioning at high levels. Meditation after exercise has been linked to improved rehabilitation and growth of neural tissues, but also decreased muscle pain and soreness! In addition, meditation and PMR also decreases symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.
