  • Sleep and recovery are important for the training of the 2021 CrossFit Games champ, Justin Medeiros.

  • He wants at least eight hours of sleep to perform well.

  • He uses a sauna and cold plunge in his home gym.

Medeiros says ice baths, sleep, and sauna sessions help him perform at his peak.

Medeiros, who was named the Fittest Man on Earth as the winner of the 2021 CrossFit Games, said now that he's graduated from university, he'll be going full-time with the company.

He told Insider that the amount of time he will be able to spend on recovery has changed this year.

The star athlete said he works out for five hours on training days, and will ramp up to even longer sessions as competition season nears. His fitness is being brought to the next level because he is sleeping enough and recovering from sauna and ice bath sessions.

Medeiros said sleep is the biggest factor in his training performance

Medeiros said he eats 5,000 calories a day and works on mobility for demanding exercises like handstand walks to keep his body in peak shape as an elite athlete.

His routine is affected by sleep.

The whole day of training is messed up if I don't have a good night of sleep.

Medeiros said his performance and energy is best when he 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217
