My 5 BEST recovery TIPS for LEGS to keep LIFTING, RUNNING and RIDING

How I train legs when I'm doing multiple sports and activities is a common question. Here I highlight how I recover which is more important than how I train....because it's what LETS me train!
For those interested, the sauna model I have is the Clearlight two-person outdoor version.
It is not a cheap option, there are much cheaper ones out there, but (for something I use an awful lot) it represents good value for money to me.

As a chunky bloke into the gym and starting running, this was gold

[@Shevock]

I agree on the yoga comment. Truly the perfect cross training. I'm never going to tie myself up like a pretzel nor do I want to. But I think if I had discovered yoga in high school it would've improved my performance in swimming and baseball (the sports I played then). I discovered yoga at the Y just a few months before the pandemic and have kept doing KZbin Yoga and it's improved my mobility, core strength and flexibility by a lot.

This guy knows his stuff 🙏🏻🤙🏻

[@alexcrosse9970]

Love the video. Would love a video on your nutrition and your beliefs on augers and such. Keep up the great work

[@SAMGB4H]

I agree your best purchase has to be for recovery, purchased a small vibrating roller ball and you can definitely feel the difference in recovery

[@oayysz8909]

Great content you got the perfect balance nark keep up the great content, agreed with the splits part lol never understood people that pushed to be very flexible its unnecessary

[@antsmands]

Thumbs Up on the home sauna, best investment I made! I will look into power dots, interesting! Thanks for the good info.

[@alanseim9801]

Mark. LOVE LOVE LOVE the content and the witty disposition. Do you have info on the Sauna that you purchased? Thanks!

[@TheManuelv86]

+1 for the powerdot :) works like a charm

[@stormrider1119]

I've been on the face about a massage gun for a while. Think you just tipped me over the edge. Cheers!

[@noggintube]

I bought a cheapo Amazon massage gun and it works great, as you say I don't think there's much in it between the those and the expensive ones. The Power Dot is really interesting though, been tempted but they're a tad pricey to justify at the minute - have also seen cheap versions but unlike the massage gun, I'm not so sure if I want to risk one of those zapping what muscles I do have into oblivion.

[@howellomaha]

Thanks for the tips! Any suggestions for those of us nowhere near 'athlete' level. The ones that are so out of shape we get sore the next day from just going up 3 flights of stairs. I have to get back into working out after an injury and I just can't (don't want to) work out because of the soreness. I guess 'Suck it up buttercup' is what I need to hear.

[@jaquta69]

Love Yoga, good supplement with the weights and running etc

[@AndreiDamian]

10k subscribers sounds crazy :)

[@mikewilson0]

Hey Mark, any pointers on what to look for in a sauna? What model did you end up with?

[@populigaudeamus6299]

That thumbnail got my undivided attention 😍🔥

[@michaelshasha5996]

How did the strength/resistance training go with the power dot? Did you get the DOMS you wanted? Or no effect?

[@jpdrsn33]

Have you had a go at something like the Normatec compression boots?

[@Clinton.A95]

Had to come back to this, struggling to walk atm 😂

[@saml5073]

Hi Mark, forgive me if I’ve missed it but have you got any video(s) of your transition to barefoot running that you can signpost me to? I’m currently running with a next% which has a pretty high drop and I’d be interested in something with less, if for nothing else, to give me some freedom of choice when it comes to trainers. Cheers, take care.

[@jisber1]

Which massage gun do you recommend?

[@musanap]

Thanks!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

🙏 🙏 🙏 Thank you!

[@SuperCuttyBlackSow]

Thanks I needed this trying to train for an ironman and keep at least a bit of muscle mass

[@TGTD100]

Does the PowerDot work for Nixon, too? 😆

[@dresden_slowjog]

I do foam rolling watching your channel (or other's).

[@cyclingnerddelux698]

What about the dog? Mini massage gun? Protein drinks? Sauna?

[@elliotpollard9083]

Sound levels all over the place today!

[@bd5040]

Just bought a cheapo massage gun($85 usd, cheap for them) off amazon because of this vid

[@carlosribeiro753]

crazy 😜

[@paullacy9406]

Mark, after watching this video I bought a PowerDot and it came today. What number do you get upto / set on the recovery mode?

[@MarkLewisfitness]

it really depends on all sorts of things - I tend to go to "mild discomfort"....and then up it after a min or so of getting used to it - so it's more about feel than a number.

[@JamesDownes]

Spikey balls is not something to be bragging about

[@WHEREAMI42]

You've persuaded me to finally bite the bullet and buy a powerdot. I realised I couldn't really get into my upper leg muscles (maybe pectineous?) with rolling and gun... I did vEverest at the weekend and then a couple of runs in the week... now my aches are starting to catch up with me!

[@CostViz]

Terrible, you confused kickboxer and bloodsport. You are not a Tanaka!

[@rasher331]

Room full of middle aged mothers and you feeling uncomfortable. You are a middle aged father. You will never be 25 no matter how many 25 year olds you marry.

[@2312dean]

I highly doubt thats what he meant. Yoga (and pilates etc etc) classes have been predominantly the preserve of women and for a man to rock up to a class is going to feel uncomfortable - like we are invading their space or something. Im sure the women dont see it that way - but, as a man, I 100% get what Mark is saying
