Quotes to ponder:

"The more resistance, the higher the number of reps, and the time spent exercising, all vary the total amount of energy needed to sustain physical movement."

"Good recovery starts with hydration and nutrition. Ensuring you are adequately hydrated is vital to speed the removal of lactic acid and allow glycogen stores to be regenerated."
