The Truth About Rest and Recovery

In this episode of The One Percent, Chris and Kiley get into the often-overlooked yet critical topic of rest and recovery. They kick things off with a What’s Hot and What’s Not segment featuring a hot-button trend: cold plunging. Then they explore the importance of rest—not as an excuse to avoid challenge, but as a tool for building resilience. They unpack the common misconception that rest means eliminating all stress, discuss the danger of rewarding yourself for things that don’t warrant it, and introduce the concept of active recovery.

The episode wraps with this week’s 1% Challenge: implement one recovery strategy that supports your physical, mental, or emotional wellbeing.
