Did you know not everyday should be an all out full intense workout? 🙅🏻
That’s right! Active recovery days are just as important as your regular training days! 🙌🏽
We know “active recovery” sounds like a contradiction but our bodies are designed to move. So when taking a rest day make sure you’re still moving. 🏃🏻♂️
So what is active recovery and why is it so important?
Active recovery is a workout that is performed at a lower intensity, reduced power or lesser resistance than your regular workout. It helps with muscle recovery, soreness, muscle rebuilding and helps prevent us from doing nothing for 1 whole day and letting it turn into 2 days, a week, or even more.
The best thing about active recovery is it can basically be anything! Walking your dog 🐕, a leisure bike ride with the family 🚲, a nice kayak ride 🚣♂️... you get the point.
