Work + Rest = Success

G'day all,

Today I'd like to talk about recovery strategies and the importance it plays in optimising human performance.

Many successful, time poor professionals feel they need to spend every spare minute performing high intensity strength and/or sweat sessions in order maximise their gains. Often at the expense of rest and regeneration.

The reality is positive adaptation can not occur without sufficient rest.

Understanding stress and its impact on the human system is critical to optimising human performance. Coupling periods of work and training stress with ample rest and recovery best allows gains in body composition and athletic performance.

Regeneration comes in many forms and functions. It is critical to understand the many ways to restore the body’s performance in response to heavy training; Rest, sleep, nutrition, psychologial unloading, massage, stretching, hydrotherapy, and active rest.

Mind, Body & Soul Challenge

Every 90 days we put on an event for all our members that challenges the mind, strengthening the body, and rejuvenating the soul. It involves 4 key components (two of which are key regeneration strategies):

HIGH-INTENSITY SWEAT SESSION
Were we develop metabolic qualities across a range of intensities and time, to develop the most well rounded and strongest version of yourself possible. Increasing your ability to rapidly shred body fat, redesign your physique and perform at a higher level day-to-day.

BREATHE WORKSHOP
We’re always breathing, yet we’re mostly unaware of its tremendous potential. Heightened oxygen levels hold a treasure trove of benefits, and the specialised breathing technique of the we will teach you will unearths them all: more energy, reduced stress levels, and an augmented immune response to swiftly deal with pathogens. Whilst also preparing you mentally and physically for your cold plunge in the ice bath.

Benefits
+ Reach profound levels of relaxation and piece of mind
+ Feel energized and full of life within minutes
+ Boost your body’s alkalinity and reduce inflammation for super fast recovery
+ Release “happy hormones”
+ Experience deep meditative states of mind quickly and easily
+ Get rid of stress and relieve worries

COLD THERAPY (ICE BATH)
The cold is your warm friend. Exposing your body to it in the right way starts a cascade of health benefits, including the build-up of brown adipose tissue and subsequent fat loss, reduced inflammation to facilitate a fortified immune system, balanced hormone levels, improved sleep quality, and the production of endorphins— the feel good chemicals in the brain that naturally elevate your mood.

Benefits
+ Train your cardio vascular system for better blood flow and circulation
+ Maximise your energy levels
+ Lower your heart rate, banish stress, and feel more relaxed
+ Build courage as you embrace and overcome limiting beliefs
+ Experience deeper, higher quality sleep at night & awaken full of energy
+ Boost your immune system
+ Increase metabolism of fat

COMMITMENT
The Fourth pillar is the foundation of the other two: both cold exposure and conscious breathing require patience and dedication in order to be fully mastered. Armed with focus and determination you are ready to explore and eventually master your own body and mind.
