Nowadays, everyone is obsessed with the fine margins and small gains when it comes to exercise and recovery. These may well work and be beneficial, but if you're not doing the basics right, then it could all be for nothing!

Incorporate gentle stretching and foam rolling in your downtime and rest days away from exercise. Gentle aerobic acticity such as walking, alongside yoga and mobility work all play a key part in this.
2. DIET & HYDRATION
Try to stick to a balanced diet, hitting all the major food groups in the correct proportions. Sufficient protein intake can aid your muscle recovery. Don't forget to drink water too!
3. SLEEP
