I’ll never forget the day I realized my constant soreness wasn’t from “training harder” — it was my body telling me something was wrong.
As a personal trainer and fitness coach, I always preached recovery and consistency. But behind the scenes, I was waking up sore, stiff, and exhausted — no matter how clean I ate or how often I stretched.
I blamed my workouts, my supplements, even my sleep. I tried foam rollers, massage guns, ice baths — nothing worked. My muscles still felt tight and heavy, and recovery took days instead of hours.
This wasn’t supposed to happen to someone like me. I help others reach their goals every day, yet I couldn’t even fix my own recovery problem.
