The Power of Recovery: Fitness Tips for Every Man

Episode #967

Ever feel like your body just doesn’t bounce back like it used to?

You’re not alone—and it’s not just about getting older. In this episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Phil Batterson, PhD in exercise physiology, to talk about something most guys overlook: recovery.

We dive into why your body might feel stiff, tired, or inflamed… even when you’re “doing all the right things.” The truth? Most men are overtraining and under-recovering. And that’s exactly why their results suck.

We break down how to build a fitness routine that actually fits your life, how stress is crushing your gains, and why things like sleep, breathwork, and protein matter way more than your fancy supplements or ice baths.

In this episode, you'll learn what an effective weekly plan looks like for the average high-performing man, why three days a week might be all you need, and how to structure recovery to actually feel better, not worse.

This one’s for the guy who’s grinding in business, trying to be there for his family—and still wants to feel like an athlete without burning out.

You don’t need to do more. You just need to do it smarter.
