WORK + REST= SUCCESS Social media makes it appear you need to always be working and never be resting but that’s far from the truth. From everything I’ve read,studied, and experienced, your ability to perform is based on your ability to recover. If you can’t recover, you can’t and will not be able to operate at peak performance. I get it, I don’t like sitting around on “off days” either, and I’m not saying you shouldn’t workout. I’m just saying maybe it shouldn’t be a full on workout that’s going to leave you behind the 8 ball for the rest of the week. My active recovery days mainly focus on 3 things. 1)Movement quality-I’ll will do some soft tissue work then during the “workout” I’ll work on movement patterns I’m weak in or areas where my mobility needs to improve 2)Cardio- These days are great for me to sneak in some extra cardio and really flush everything out which will ultimately lead to a faster recovery 3)Core work- Not much to say here, core work is always great! On these days I typically throw in the core work I need vs the core workout I typically want to do. Here’s a sample of my active recovery workout Jump for is for 2 min Everything after that is 30 sec of work 30 sec of rest You will repeat this 3x through ACTIVE RECOVERY DAY: -Jump Rope x 2 min -Goblet Squat To World Greatest Stretch -Wenning Plank -90/90 Hip Extension -TRX Bicep Curls -Supine Wall Slides -Physioball Toe Touch -Rotational Medball Slam
