Alcohol & Muscle Recovery 💪🍷

We’re halfway through Alcohol Awareness Week, and here’s something many people don’t realise — alcohol can actually slow down muscle recovery 💤

So if you've done a workout or a Pilates class and then celebrate with a few drinks, your body might struggle more with that post-exercise soreness the next day 🏋️‍♀️

That achy feeling (the good kind!) is your muscles rebuilding and getting stronger — but alcohol can interfere with protein synthesis, delay healing and increase inflammation. Think of those post-morning aching joints 🔁

I’m all for balance, but it’s worth thinking about when you drink, especially if you’re training for GNR, a specific event, or working on strength 🏃‍♀️🌿

A glass of water or a mocktail might help you bounce back quicker… and feel more up for movement the next day 💧✨
