How can I improve my recovery time after workouts?

To improve your recovery time, consider focusing on hydration, nutrition, and rest. Are you currently following any specific recovery practices?

I usually just drink water and eat a protein bar after workouts.

That's a good start! You might also want to incorporate more whole foods, like fruits and vegetables, and consider stretching or foam rolling.

What about sleep? How important is that?

Sleep is crucial for recovery! Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help your muscles repair and grow.

Thanks! Any specific foods you recommend for recovery?

Yes! Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries, and those high in protein, like chicken or legumes, can be very beneficial.
