There’s not much worse than starting each year from scratch with rusty joints and bones, so today we look at some strategies to get the most out of your “off-season” training. Many may seem non-traditional, but the biggest key is to enjoy what you’re doing and stay in the fitness ballpark. We get into flex months, the reality of too much intensity, spending time working on things that will matter the most next year and slowing down degradation of fitness. The long game is life, so be all in on your health.
