    Your body needs time to rest in between exercise sessions so that it can repair itself properly-and come back stronger. Plus, if all your body gets is physical stress without rest, you can reach the point of diminishing returns, or the point at which more exercise doesn’t result in any more progress.
    Rest days are an essential part of any well rounded fitness program. They help your body recover from workouts and allow you to come back stronger for your next. But if you’re a go-hard-at-every-workout kind of person (like me), or you just hate the idea of taking a day completely off from exercise (also me), it can be actually be HARD to take a rest day! Active recovery workouts let you get in some activity while giving your muscles and joints the rest they need to bounce back stronger than ever. By performing an active recovery workout on your rest day, you can give your body a day off while giving your mind a refreshing mental break from vigorous workouts.
    How Often Should I Take an Active Recovery Day?
    If you’re training more than five days per week, or you just hate the idea of taking a day completely off from exercise, consider subbing out one of your weekly workouts for an active recovery day. If you’re currently training three or four times per week, you can turn a couple of your “off” days into active recovery days to keep building strength and aerobic fitness even when you’re not working at your hardest. There's nothing wrong with taking days off completely, so don't forget to listen to your body and give it a break when it needs one.
    Active Recovery Day Workout Routine Exercises
    Standing breath with arms up and down
    Side stretch reach
    Side stretch with triceps stretch
    Knee hug and change
    Worlds greatest twist stretch
    Achilles and ankle stretch
    Spine twist
    Thorasic mobility chest opener
    Thread the needle hip stretch
    90/90 hip and lat stretch
    downward dog
    low lung
    Quad stretch
    As always, please check with your doctor or physical therapist before starting this or any exercise routine. Honor your body and move mindfully. Modify exercises when needed.
    when you start to take active recovery days and replenish your body with nourishing movement like the active recovery day workout routine above, you'll start to see so many benefits in your performance and mindset!
    Try to use this active recovery day workout 1-2 times per week in addition to your balanced fitness programming. If you need help designing a fitness and diet plan to see results, contact me for coaching here or join one of my fitness coaching programs!

    I really enjoyed this. I have a hard time taking a day off and this made me feel like I accomplished something. Thank you.

      I'm the same way. Why is that--like I work hard six days/week, and the seventh is the worst for me!

    This was AWESOME! I am a pretty active person and workouts are extremely important for my mental health. It's hard for me to have a rest day and not feel terrible about myself. This was just what I needed and will definitely be implemented regularly from now on. Also, the real talk during the stretches was pretty nice 😄

  • @kelseyelyce5236
    @kelseyelyce5236 3 года назад +2

    I needed this today!!! Just started my fitness journey after a crazy year of recovery from an emergency c section and I did NOT want to do anything today but I knew i needed to for my mental health! I was sore, tight and mega cranky but I did it! This was a wonderful way to spend my rest day guilt free. Thank you. ❤️❤️

  • @warriorlight417
    @warriorlight417 3 года назад +2

    This HELPED ME LOADS. I was in SO MUCH PAIN and soreness from my workout yesterday and I knew just staying still all day would worsen it. After this I felt 100x better!!!

  • @Katastr0phic_Katicorn
    @Katastr0phic_Katicorn 4 года назад +8

    I've been working out HARD. I was struggling to take days off, feeling guilty when I did, and burning tf out. I was so uninspired and unmotivated after my workout yesterday that I dreaded my rest day today. Until I finished this. I feel relaxed, renewed and excited for tomorrow's workout!

  • @debplummer6564

    🤯 I needed this. I’m 60 and just started working out w/trainer in Jan and now he’s stepped it up a notch. My body felt like it had been hit by a truck this morning. Decided not to go to gym today but do an active recovery workout. This hit all my sore areas. Thank you!

  • @stacyrandazzo9963
    @stacyrandazzo9963 4 месяца назад

    I just discovered you and I am so happy! I woke up so, so sore today from working out all week. I am 56 years old and trying to work out at home daily. Today was the day my body said, "NO MORE!" I was so stiff and sore and uncomfortable. I searched for a stretch recovery and found you. Oh my stars I am so thankful. I started the day feeling 5/10 and after your workout I feel 10/10. My body feels so much better. Thank you so much!

    It’s actually a problem for me once I’m in a routine I don’t want to do nothing for a day so I end up doing cardio. I should just go for a walk and stretch though thanks for the tips :)

    This is the absolute best active recovery workoutI ever did. I've been doing full body HIIT routines for around 3 weeks now and this hit all the sore spots perfectly! I am so glad I found this channel, you were so nice and cheerful and the instructions made it easy to follow with the correct form. Thank you so much!

  • @andreawinter576
    @andreawinter576 5 лет назад +24

    Starts at 2:33 (for my own use)
    Also, my word, this is my first video of hers and her happiness is contagious; she's so cute
    Another edit: this routine left me with so much energy I had to go on a run in order to be able to concentrate on other things; I was just bouncing lol I am now encouraged to do this as my cooldown for workouts as well because of how well it worked 😂

    I just found this video and girl I love youuuu!! I just started working out daily two weeks ago and a friend of mine suggested that I should work out three days and rest two. Well I can’t not do anything on the rest days, so I was thinking yoga or stretching. Found this and omg perfect. Stretches everything I need stretched. I feel fantastic ❤️

    Caroline this was a great video! The stretching was so relaxing AND it is so nice to hear someone actually talk about what to do on an active recovery day! I am a routine type of person so the time I have made for fitness and workouts in my day feels so "wasted" on rest days if I don't do anything at all- so thank you for giving us an active recovery day "workout"!!!

    I have set the goal to be active everyday for 365 days this year. However, I know that recovery days are just as important as activity days. So I am always looking for good quality active recovery day routines to keep me on target without burning me out. Thank you for this! It was wonderful.

    Hey Caroline, loved the routine. And I just really love you as a person. You're smile is infectious. Active recovery is so necessary. Its hard to stop. When you feel like progress means moving forward. But stopping, and stretching is also important every now and then ! 😀 Thanks for the amazing routine. I'll be back soon to do this more than once.
    Take care !

    Pilates yesterday and this recovery today :) Needed this. Loved it. Here's an idea? So I always stretch a little early in the morning before meditation. Do you have a favorite set of exercises that you know to get us ready for breathing exercises and meditation, especially just after getting up in the morning? As one of your Patreon subscribers, I would appreciate the recommendations.

    I love this- pace was good and it was good to hear the words of affirmations. I would suggest to tone back a little from talking to hear the breathing more. And maybe that’s me cuz I follow breathes. Other than that this was what I needed for my body today

  • @MayaGatewood
    @MayaGatewood 5 лет назад +1

    Hi, I came across your video searching for active recovery after hitting the weights yesterday! I loved each movement and they really helped me to flush out my sore muscles and breathe. I liked your positive attitude and instruction. Just one piece of constructive criticism, is I was a little distracted by the frequency of the commentary. It felt good when I received the instruction, a comment or two to guide me through the movement but then I could not fully focus/connect b/c I was then pulled back into more commentary. Don’t be afraid of pauses, they might seem awkward but it allows your viewers to feel their own space through the movements. Overall I loved this video and will check out more. Thank you so much! Xoxo
