  • How I train legs when I'm doing multiple sports and activities is a common question. Here I highlight how I recover which is more important than how I train....because it's what LETS me train!
    For those interested, the sauna model I have is the Clearlight two-person outdoor version.
    It is not a cheap option, there are much cheaper ones out there, but (for something I use an awful lot) it represents good value for money to me.

    As a chunky bloke into the gym and starting running, this was gold

    I agree on the yoga comment. Truly the perfect cross training. I'm never going to tie myself up like a pretzel nor do I want to. But I think if I had discovered yoga in high school it would've improved my performance in swimming and baseball (the sports I played then). I discovered yoga at the Y just a few months before the pandemic and have kept doing CZcams Yoga and it's improved my mobility, core strength and flexibility by a lot.

    I've been on the face about a massage gun for a while. Think you just tipped me over the edge. Cheers!

    Thumbs Up on the home sauna, best investment I made! I will look into power dots, interesting! Thanks for the good info.

    I agree your best purchase has to be for recovery, purchased a small vibrating roller ball and you can definitely feel the difference in recovery

    Love the video. Would love a video on your nutrition and your beliefs on augers and such. Keep up the great work

    Thanks for the tips!
    Any suggestions for those of us nowhere near 'athlete' level. The ones that are so out of shape we get sore the next day from just going up 3 flights of stairs.
    I have to get back into working out after an injury and I just can't (don't want to) work out because of the soreness.
    I guess 'Suck it up buttercup' is what I need to hear.

    +1 for the powerdot :) works like a charm

    I bought a cheapo Amazon massage gun and it works great, as you say I don't think there's much in it between the those and the expensive ones. The Power Dot is really interesting though, been tempted but they're a tad pricey to justify at the minute - have also seen cheap versions but unlike the massage gun, I'm not so sure if I want to risk one of those zapping what muscles I do have into oblivion.

    Hi Mark, forgive me if I’ve missed it but have you got any video(s) of your transition to barefoot running that you can signpost me to? I’m currently running with a next% which has a pretty high drop and I’d be interested in something with less, if for nothing else, to give me some freedom of choice when it comes to trainers. Cheers, take care.

    Hey Mark, any pointers on what to look for in a sauna? What model did you end up with?

    How did the strength/resistance training go with the power dot? Did you get the DOMS you wanted? Or no effect?

  • @jpdrsn33

    Mark, after watching this video I bought a PowerDot and it came today. What number do you get upto / set on the recovery mode?

    • @MarkLewisfitness
      @MarkLewisfitness  Před 3 lety +1

      it really depends on all sorts of things - I tend to go to "mild discomfort"....and then up it after a min or so of getting used to it - so it's more about feel than a number.

  • @WHEREAMI42
    @WHEREAMI42 Před 3 lety

    You've persuaded me to finally bite the bullet and buy a powerdot. I realised I couldn't really get into my upper leg muscles (maybe pectineous?) with rolling and gun...
    I did vEverest at the weekend and then a couple of runs in the week... now my aches are starting to catch up with me!

    Room full of middle aged mothers and you feeling uncomfortable. You are a middle aged father. You will never be 25 no matter how many 25 year olds you marry.

    • @2312dean

      I highly doubt thats what he meant. Yoga (and pilates etc etc) classes have been predominantly the preserve of women and for a man to rock up to a class is going to feel uncomfortable - like we are invading their space or something. Im sure the women dont see it that way - but, as a man, I 100% get what Mark is saying
