Whether you're lifting heavy at our Raynham facility or taking a high-intensity group class, one thing is clear: muscle growth doesn't just happen during workouts — it happens during recovery. And the most overlooked tool in that recovery toolkit? Sleep.
Sleep is when your body gets to work repairing and building the muscle fibers you broke down during training. During deep sleep, the body releases growth hormone, which is essential for:
Lack of sleep? That’s a fast track to slower gains, higher injury risk, and poor workout performance.
Most active adults need 7–9 hours of quality sleep per night. If you're training intensely or trying to build muscle, aim closer to the 9-hour mark. Athletes often benefit from even more.
At Answer is Fitness, we emphasize balanced programming — not just pushing your limits, but giving your body the time it needs to come back stronger. Recovery isn’t lazy; it’s strategic.
Tips to improve recovery:
If you're noticing stalled progress despite consistent training, check your recovery. Are you sleeping enough? Are you stretching, hydrating, and letting your muscles rebuild?
Remember: Progress happens between the workouts — not just in them.
