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.
Active recovery means taking the treadmill down to a comfortable, slow jog or even a walk so you can get your breath under control. And while itâs OK for beginners to start upping the incline during a brisk walk, don't take on too much too soon. âYou want to strengthen the foot, the ankle, the lower leg,â Fortune says.
