The next, you're wondering if weeks or months of hard work are about to disappear.After injuring my back this past weekend, I found myself reflecting on a lesson that every fitness journey eventually teaches us: setbacks are part of the process.In this episode, I share the recovery framework I'm using right now, including how to approach movement, walking, strength training, nutrition, sleep, and mindset while your body heals.We'll discuss why complete rest isn't always the answer, how to maintain progress even when you can't train normally, and why the habits you've built throughout your health journey may be helping you recover more than you realize.If you're navigating an injury—or simply want a game plan for when life inevitably throws you off course—this episode is for you.Because injury may interrupt the journey, but it doesn't have to end it.
