Crushing your workouts is great, but it is also important to make time for active recovery.
Some say the only way to get faster or stronger is to create an adaption that the body has to overcome. This is why we all lift heavier weights, run faster, or bike longer. I agree and because of this adaption the body requires a down period of rest and recovery (a week or day of lower volume or low intensity).
The entire purpose of recovery is to allow the muscle to repair itself and to engage muscles that are tired or sore from a previous day or prior period of time. When we are recovering from a phase of training, we can have down weeks (less volume) or complete recovery days. Recovery during a down week is around a 30% reduction in the typical training volume of the week.
This workout is all about giving your muscles time to repair and increasing your flexibility and mobility. The workout will move through dynamic stretches and a mobility flow and then end with static stretching. All three forms of movement are important for active recovery, and recovering faster means getting back to your workouts ASAP so you can meet your overall goals. Sound good? Great.
