Active Recovery
- 1 - Choose a low-intensity activity such as light walking, gentle cycling, or easy swimming at a conversational pace.
- 2 - Begin with 5 minutes of very light movement to gradually increase blood flow to the muscles.
- 3 - Maintain a low heart rate (approximately 50-60% of your maximum heart rate) throughout the session.
- 4 - Focus on smooth, controlled movements that promote circulation without causing additional muscular stress.
- 5 - Incorporate gentle dynamic stretches or mobility drills targeting areas that feel tight or fatigued from previous sessions.
- 6 - Stay hydrated and breathe deeply and rhythmically throughout the activity to support oxygen delivery to recovering muscles.
- 7 - Continue for 20-40 minutes, then finish with a few minutes of static stretching or foam rolling to further aid recovery.
