While training for fights is important to Loureda, so is her recovery process. She shared what she does to recover to Vital Proteins. “On both training days and active recovery days, I drink a lot of water and try to eat clean. On active recovery days, doing yoga is my go-to because it helps to release the lactic acid from my legs and the next morning I am not as sore.”
