52: Body can only adapt so much

Summary. In this Recover Week episode, we introduce the concept of hydrotherapy. Specifically, we talk about the cold version (aka, cryotherapy) and ice tubs that are a commonly used recovery treatment after workouts and competition. Enjoy!

Topics covered. Alex balancing all of her work. Learning to embrace uncertainty. Michele juggling training a bunch of young and new clients at once. The unsolved mystery of monk fruit extract. A follow-up on the ice tubs vs contrast water therapy from last week. What do exercise and physical activity actually do to the body? What is metabolic stress? What is mechanical stress? How does exercise turn into muscle stress and adaptation? How does water immersion affect the stress response? How does cold affect the stress response? How does the combo of both affect stress response? When do you want the stress response? How can you take advantage of ice tubs for recovery? When should you use it? What is it best for? What do not understand about it? And more.
