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.
1. Walking. The natural swaying of your hips plus good-old gravity make simple walking one of the best approaches to encouraging labor along. And even if it doesnât work exactly as you were hoping for, the extra exercise will still work wonders for your health and could even speed up your recovery process.
