Work In: The Athlete's Plan for Real Recovery and Winning Results

Rethink Recovery: Stop and Work In

Most athletes are so focused on working out that they fail to work in. Real recovery allows your body to effectively recharge, which involves listening to your body’s cues telling you to slow down or even stop. Work In provides a guided approach to recovery that you can do anytime, anywhere.

Meditate for Mental Focus

With 11 meditations and 3 visualizations, you will use your innate tools of breathing, speaking, seeing, and feeling to train your mind to focus better. By building the habit of regular meditation, you’ll strengthen your immune system, sleep more soundly, manage pain better, and be more present—performing better in both sport and in life.

Recharge Your Body with Restorative Yoga

Work In offers 17 restorative yoga poses to help you relax deeply and gently mobilize. The poses are restful and supportive, meant to open up your body and ease you from working out to resting. Four restorative yoga routines will guide you through poses for specific needs.

28-Day Recovery Plan

Coach Erin Taylor gives you a 28-day plan that requires as little as 5 minutes a day to build recovery into your daily practice. Each day combines a meditation with a yoga pose, and tips and prompts keep you motivated and engaged. Once you finish the guided plan, blank worksheets provide a way for you to keep working in and seeing results.
