Day 132 (Active Recovery)

GCMC: Fight To Live Well

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.
