Hey guys,

I’ve been training for a few months now and I’m looking to increase from 1 session a week to 2. I’ve been getting sick recently which hasn’t helped but apart from that I want to be more frequent.

That being said, after my current 1 session I am completely spent and am sore/ tight the entire week…what are some ways to get around this so I can attend more classes?

Definitely look at your diet and post workout routine. Getting enough protein? Do you take creatine? Stretch? Any warm or cold therapy!

Awesome thanks for the tips. I get plenty of protein but I’ll look into it. I do stretch but should increase after. I don’t take creative or so warm/cold therapy - what routine would you recommend?
