Why Active Recovery Days Make You Stronger, Not Weaker

Recovery isn’t passive.
It's an active part of the training process — and when done right, it makes you stronger, not softer.
Here's how to use it.

Why Active Recovery Matters

• Promotes blood flow = speeds up recovery

• Reduces soreness

• Reduces central nervous system fatigue

• Boosts mobility and joint health

What a Good Active Recovery Day Looks Like

✅ Low-intensity cardio (walks, bike rides, light swims)
✅ Full-body mobility work (hips, shoulders, spine)
✅ Optional: very light pump work (bands, machines) — keep it <6/10 effort

Example Active Recovery Session:

• 20-min easy bike ride

• 10-min mobility flow

• Optional: 2–3 rounds of light bodyweight circuits

Common Mistakes:

🚫 Full rest with no movement = builds stiffness
🚫 Going "half-hard" in recovery sessions = adding junk volume
🚫 Skipping mobility altogether = loss of range
