On rest and recovery days it is important to avoid doing the worst thing you can do for your body... nothing. Examples of rest and recovery activities are walking, static stretch exercises (after a warm up and loosening up period), dynamic stretching, swimming, water running, and riding a bike.
Some people prefer more than four strength training days per week but thatâs a hell of a lot to recover from. The only way that can really work is if you are training very submaximally. But I really see no point in that nor is it remotely enjoyable.Iâd much rather do yoga or for a swim then do an easy workout.ow intensity work actually enhances your recovery between hard training sessions. So make some time at least 2-3 days per week to go for a long hike, walk, bike ride, etc. for 30 minutes.
