This week on Fitness Stuff for Normal People, Marianna and Tony flip the script on progress in the gym by breaking down the one thing most people overlook: recovery. You don’t get stronger while you’re lifting, the real growth happens in the hours and days after when your body is given the chance to heal. From the second you rack the last rep to how you sleep two nights later, they walk through the full timeline of recovery and the science behind what really matters. Expect practical takeaways on nutrition, sleep, movement, and supplements, plus a look at which buzzy biohacks are actually worth it. If you’re serious about getting the most out of your training, this episode is your blueprint for making recovery your ultimate performance tool.
