Just a couple of flows from an Active Recovery workout. Practicing strength work, metabolic conditioning, skill development, competition, and that thing called life can be exhausting for an athlete. Taking time to recover is crucial for the mind, body, and spirit to feel rejuvenated so you can perform at your best.
Too many people mistake recovery for complete rest; an excuse to do nothing or take the day off.
Recovery is an active process, though. You are attempting to encourage your body to move towards adaptation and further from suffering. Recovery involves adequate sleep (this is your daily chance to “do nothing” ), proper #nutrition, creative time, play, and low intensity movement. Make time to recover from the stressors you endure or prepare to spend time tired, sick, injured, frustrated, and agitated.
