I’m a baking instructor with a background in medical research, so I tend to approach things with a bit of a scientific mindset. I’ve recently started incorporating more cardio into my routine, but I’m finding the recovery aspect a bit trickier than I expected. I know the basics, but I’m curious about the less obvious hurdles.
For instance, how do you manage the fine line between pushing for progress and overdoing it? Are there specific signs of overtraining that are easy to miss at first? Also, with a schedule that involves being on my feet teaching all day, what are some practical recovery strategies that don’t require a ton of extra time? I’d love to hear what surprised you when you were starting out.
