Recovery is a critical part of your workout program. Ever wondered about when you workout, which LEVEL is beneficial for you DAILY and how often should this be done?
At www.thebodycamp.com in Ibiza, we have 20 guests working out weekly, to amazing music, challenging exercises, and they are all performed in a fun way.
But what happens after guests workout or indeed when they leave us, after a life changing week?
Workouts need to be become a DAILY event in your life, just like 1980’s pop music! Daily movement is critical to your well being!
If you don’t use it – you lose it!
At www.thebodycamp.com, we believe everyone must be doing at least LEVEL 1 type exercises a day (see below) at a bare minimum.
LEVEL 1 builds a base level of fitness for life, keeps you on track and helps with your healthy eating habits every day.
It also helps the recovery process, when you use it on alternative days with LEVEL 2 type workouts or Intense LEVEL 3 workouts.
Daily Workouts (to be done EVERYDAY) are encouraged to last for at least 10 mins and can include the following –
LEVEL 3 – 10-30 mins – Every 3-5 days (Building muscle/stamina and fat burning exercises)
Weight training
H.I.T.T training
Boxing
Spin class
Bootcamp circuits
TRX
LEVEL 2 20-30 mins – Every 2-4 days (Heart/lung training/fat burning exercises)
Jogging
Cycling
Fast Hiking
Medium speed – swimming
Aerobics
LEVEL 1 10 mins – EVERY DAY (Restorative exercise)
Walking
Yoga
Meditation
Slow swimming
Mindful breathing
Walking with friends or a dog
Stretching
If you are pushing your body harder LEVEL 3 (weights/H.I.T.T. training/boxing etc) think about alternating each workout day with a LEVEL 1 type workout – this will help you body recover!
Nutrition also plays a critical part in recovery – remember to drink lots of water, eat some protein and greens within 1 hour of a workout and ensure you always get your restorative LEVEL 1 workout in -daily!
