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.
On days off from heavy exercise, relax with some low-impact activities like yoga. âWhen you do a strenuous workout, the next day you donât want to be sedentary and get muscle stiffness from sitting in a chair all day, but you also want to allow your body to recover,â Goolsby said.
