Recovery is what makes training work. Most members under-do it because the plan is vague. Here's a 30-minute template.
Min 0–5: rehydrate + protein
500ml water with electrolytes (you're in Abu Dhabi — sweat losses are higher than you think) and 30–40g of protein within the first 30 minutes.
Min 5–15: contrast
Sauna 8 min → ice bath 2 min → repeat once. The contrast drives blood flow and drops perceived soreness.
Min 15–30: low-stim
Steam room or stretch. Down-regulates the nervous system so sleep is deeper that night.
