How can I implement active recovery in my fitness routine?

Active recovery involves low-intensity exercises that help your body recover while still being active. What activities do you enjoy?

I like walking and cycling. How often should I do these?

You can incorporate active recovery 1-3 times a week, depending on your overall workout intensity. Aim for 20-30 minutes.

Should I do this on my rest days?

Yes, active recovery is great on rest days! It helps reduce muscle soreness and improves circulation.

Are there any specific stretches I should include?

Absolutely! Focus on dynamic stretches like leg swings and arm circles, and static stretches for major muscle groups post-activity.
