My body is always sore, how do I recover faster?

There are a few ways to recover faster, here’s my top 3:
  1. Prioritise sleep and rest days. Ensure you're getting enough sleep (7-9hours) per night and are giving yourself rest days in order for your body to get the recovery it needs.
  2. Diet. Consume enough calories (especially protein) to make sure your body is receiving enough nutrients to repair itself.
  3. Soft tissue work. This is essentially using someone (sports massage) or something (foam roller / Lacrosse ball) to help massage soft tissue such as skin, muscle, fascia, tendons and ligaments to help create more blood flow to specific areas.
