Active Recovery


Lets go over what active recovery workouts are and what the goal of active recovery training is. Active recovery workouts are low intensity and low volume workouts in which the goal is to get blood into the muscles that you worked the day before to enhance recovery. In addition, another goal with active recovery is to loosen up stiff muscles.

This comes in particularly handy after heavy squat and deadlift workouts, which tend to tighten up the lower back. Effective active recovery workouts work the entire body and should leave you feeling energized. If you feel more tired after an active recovery workouts, then you did too much work.


Choose One:

60 Min Bike Ride
60 Min on the Rower
60 Min of Swimming

Then 

Mobilize 

Take the time to mash out the tight areas.
