Your body needs
stimulation every day, just like your brain. But proper recovery is just as
important as activity. Recovery time allows your body to recover and your muscles
to grow. But just because you’re not training doesn’t mean you should spend the
day on the couch. Here are five rest day activities to keep your body moving
while it recovers:
Yoga: Restorative yoga helps ease muscle soreness
and increases mobility.
Walking: A
walk outdoors can increase your feelings of well-being, burn calories, and help
keep your legs from getting stiff.
Swimming: A good swim engages the muscular and
cardiovascular systems without adding pressure on your joints.
Play a game: Indulge in a sport you enjoy, but try not
to compete. Play for the fun of it and don’t push yourself.
Hiking: A great hike offers benefits similar to
walking, but with the extra feel-good bonus of new scenery.
