As the name implies, muscle recovery is simply the process by which your muscles recover after a hard period of exercise.
During vigorous exercises, you may push your muscles to muscle failure – the point at which you are no longer able to do another repetition. Exertions can break down the fibers in your muscles rendering them less capable of doing their job. You’ll feel the effects of soreness, stiffness, and a reduced ability to lift weights.
Many people will see this as a positive sign that exercise is working. ‘No pain no gain’, goes the slogan. If it’s not hurting, it’s not doing any good.
That’s only partly true. What most people don’t realize is that intense exercise is not where you experience the real gains. That comes later when your muscles have had time to recover. This is the time your body repairs your muscles, building them back bigger and better than before.
At FFC, we have the tools you need to support your muscle recovery. Check out our Recovery Lounge and schedule your first complimentary session by contacting the FFC Spa at (312) 944-1030 x233.
