Recovery Training

Recovery Training

If you work hard in the weight room, you should know your body needs recovery time. But what if you like to exercise every day? The answer is the recovery workout.

In-between hard training days, walk for an hour, take a yoga class, or ride your bike. These activities allow you to exercise but do not impede your recovery.

Hard days every day=going backwards.

Hard day/recovery day/hard day=progress

Here is a nice little week:

Monday-Hard lower body day
Tuesday-1 hour walk
Wednesday-Hard upper body day
Thursday-Yoga class
Friday-Hard lower body day
Saturday-Complete rest
Sunday-Hard Upper body day

This gives you a great 4 workout week and two recovery workouts. If you are stalled in your training, program recovery workouts and look for great results!
