What to do on thedays of rest between workouts?

Recovery is important to obtain a good performance from your training plan and your physical condition. It can be an essential component in order to avoid burnouts and injuries caused by over-training.It is common to think of the rest day between workouts as a day when you liecompletely on the couch or in bed doing nothing. For example, if you already had muscle pain the day after training, you know that sometimes you just feel like sitting and doing nothing. However, research suggests that doing absolutely nothing may not be the best recovery technique.Low-intensity activities such as walking, swimming, cycling, running, yoga and / or stretching are activities that can help with recovery during rest days and also allow you to exercise. At least 30 minutes of one of these activities will help you to recover and will help you to remain physically active.Balancing your week with a healthy combination of moderate to high intensity training with some low intensity training for recovery can be a very effective strategy.One piece of advice from us is that, these days, choose to do an activity that you enjoy. These low-intensity activities can become fun! Other positive points are that you can always alternate the activities you do, not becoming monotonous, and you can always carry out these activities accompanied by other people.From now on, think of your day of rest between workouts, as a day when you have the opportunity to perform an activity that you enjoy and that at the same time, is contributing to becoming healthier.Fightfor your health and good training!
