Why Rest Days Could Be Making You Feel Worse


Hi Reader,

If your body’s feeling sore after a week of intense workouts, skipping movement altogether might not be the best move. Instead, consider incorporating some active recovery to help your muscles heal and stay limber.

Active recovery = gentle, low-intensity movement (think walking, stretching, yoga or foam rolling) that keeps your blood flowing and helps sore muscles bounce back faster. It reduces stiffness, supports recovery and even helps prevent injuries from overtraining.

Personally, I got serious about daily mobility work after rehabbing a knee injury. Just 5-10 minutes a day made a huge difference in my pain, flexibility and joint health.

If you want something quick and effective, check out this NEW 10-Minute Mobility and Recovery Routine. It’s super versatile - perfect for travel, home or even between meetings.

Your body will thank you.
