Conditioning Mini-Series: Why Recovery Starts With Your Aerobic System

Written By Kevin Morrison

You don't just "get fit" by smashing workouts.
You get fit by recovering from them.

1. How Aerobic Capacity Helps Recovery:

  • Improved blood flow = faster nutrient delivery

  • Faster ATP restoration

  • Better lactic acid clearance between efforts

2. Active Recovery Tips:

✅ Zone 2 work on rest days
✅ Low-impact movements (bike, row, sled)
✅ Breathing drills to restore parasympathetic tone after training (5-10 mins deep nasal breathing)

3. Extra Recovery Boosters:

✅ Post-workout carbs + protein within 60 minutes
✅ Adequate hydration (electrolytes matter)
✅ Sleep 7–9 hours consistently
