People ask me all the time what I do to recover my body after training for 15+ hours a week; FLOATING.
This is something both Justin & I try to do regularly and is something more people should know about and do.
As you've probably gathered from the name, floating involves being in a room that is designed for short term sensory deprivation that is filled with "super-saturated" magnesium water that makes you completely buoyant.
The basic concept is that floating completely reduces external stimuli for 1 hour to help the body achieve a natural restorative state... no light, no music, no phones, NOTHING!
Yep, at the beginning it was challenging to just lie there with absolutely nothing to do & "switch off" and ignore the "brain chatter" but of course like anything, do it a few times and you get use to it. Now, we both cant wait for our float so we CAN purposefully switch off!
It's insane how much we rely on technology these days so being away from stimuli for just an hour helps with stress & anxiety relief, muscle recovery, pain, headache relief... I could go on & on!
Seriously, if you haven't tried floating, do yourself the grandest favor and give it a go... promise it doesn't disappoint xx Cyn
