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.
âWhat people need to understand is that exercise stresses the body, so in order to ensure the positive things youâre seeking you need to allow recovery time,â says Dr. Cedric Bryant, Chief Science Officer for the American Council on Exercise.
