🌙 Wellness Wednesday: Rest & Recovery 🌙
Remember, progress isn’t just made in the gym – it’s made when we rest, too! Taking time for quality rest and recovery is essential for building strength, preventing injuries, and keeping you motivated. 💪✨

Pro Tip: Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep, and listen to your body when it asks for a break. Rest well, recover fully, and come back stronger!

💧 Hydration Check! 💧
With summer on our doorstep, staying hydrated is key to keeping cool and energized. Remember, it’s not just about water—electrolytes play a vital role, too! They help maintain energy, muscle function, and hydration levels, especially as you sweat more in the heat. 🌞
Pro Tip: Add electrolyte-rich foods like bananas, oranges, or a pinch of sea salt to your water to support your body even more. Let’s keep those hydration levels up and stay summer-strong! 💪🌊
