Day 70



Recovery Day.

What is the difference between “Recovery Days” and “Rest Days?”

Rest is just that – nothing.  Relax, veg-out, hang with the family, watch tv and generally get off your feet.  Rest is important both mentally and physically.
Recovery 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.
