Day 4 (Active Recovery)


John Giacalone is our local Mobility Specialist. If you are having any issues or just want to get better, please check him out. You can schedule an appointment online. 

Active Recovery: These days are not "Rest days". You will recover faster, perform better every other day of the week, build up tolerance to volume, and be a better all-around athlete by moving on your recovery day. Doing something outside the box will get you more exposure and expand your margins of experience.

These days is about pro-actively speeding up your recovery. This involves getting blood flowing, massage, ART, active recovery, mobility work, foam rolling, yoga, compression, voodoo flossing and anything else that might promote recovery. The activity selected must be restorative for you. It can also be an opportunity to work on a skill, but the effort expended should leave you feeling energized at the end of the session, not depleted. Get some blood flowing to aid in your recovery. 

A.) Aerobic Restoration

25-40 minutes of one of the following performed at 60-70% effort – easy, restorative pace:

* Swim (this is our first choice)
* Row (focus on mechanics, smooth and efficient with a very low stroke per minute pace)
* AirDyne (keep the pace conversational and relaxed)
* Cycling (get outdoors and enjoy the scenery as you ride)
* Hike (nothing crazy, find a nice easy slope and go for a walk outdoors)

B.) Mobility and Maintenance

Choose 1-2 Thoracic Drills (upper back) and spend 5-10 minutes on them.
Choose 2-3 Lower Body Drills (hips, ankles) and spend 10-12 minutes on them.
Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Drills (shoulders) and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
