If you are following the Vie coaches advice, you are regularly performing high intensity training for short periods of time. However, you do not see the gains in fitness until the training session is over.
Your workout is the stimulus for changes to take place when you recover.
The amount of recovery time that you require is dependent upon a number of factors including; the type of movements performed, nutrition, sleep and stress.
Regardless of your goals, it is imperative that you are providing your body with the right type and quantity of fuel. It is also important that you are eating these sources at the right times; the time period folowing exercise has been called your 'window of opportunity'.
You should aim to consume a high protein meal, within twenty minutes of exercise cessation. This intake of amino acids will elicit positive adaptations within muscle. The consumption of high GI carbohydrate alongside the protein source will replenish glycogen stores and may improve the protein absorption rate.
