Active Recovery Techniques
Active recovery involves low-intensity exercise after intense workouts. This method can help reduce muscle soreness and improve circulation, aiding in the recovery process.
Benefits of Active Recovery
Engaging in light activities such as walking, cycling, or yoga can promote blood flow to the muscles, helping to clear out lactic acid and reduce stiffness.
"Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person's physical, emotional, and mental states." - Carol Welch
