She Has Recovery Days

Herbert makes sure to prioritize her recovery days. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. "Your reminder to don't skip your recovery days 🙂‍↕️Up until a few years ago, you would NEVER catch me taking a day off. I thought that hammering my body would lead to faster progress—boy, was I wrong! 🫠 I was overtraining; my body was always achy and fatigued, my progress had stalled, and I felt less motivated to train because I never gave myself a day off. Now, I prioritize 1-2 recovery days each week, usually one on Sundays, where I do not touch weights and only focus on recovery and mobility work. This gives both my mind and body time to recover between sessions.🤍"
