Happy New Year! As we step into another January, it’s hard not to notice the energy of new beginnings all around us. The streets are suddenly filled with runners pounding the pavement, gym classes are packed to the brim, and for many, this is the time of year for setting ambitious fitness goals. If you’re one of those people who have laced up their trainers and hit the ground running (quite literally), well done! Your dedication is inspiring. But if you haven’t started your new year’s exercise regime — or if you don’t plan to — that’s okay too. You’re not alone. (Confession: I haven’t started either!) Remember, January is not a race. It’s a fresh start, but that doesn’t mean you need to do it all at once. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, there’s one thing we all need to keep in mind — recovery . Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a casual mover, taking the time to recover is just as important as the activity itself.
