This doesn’t mean you’re doing EFFECTIVE mental training. Far from it. Most people are likely to be hurting their …
The Future of Healing…

Recovery goes down with Age…
I’ve been hearing this a lot lately… “I just don’t recover like I used to.” “It takes me twice as long to recover from workouts as when I was in my 20’s” …and all kinds of similar sentiments. People sometimes say to me, “Just wait til you’re older…you’ll see” I …
