FACT
OR MYTH:
Some people’s idea of
“rest day” means no activity at all.
The truth is, light
cardio and even light lifting can actually speed up muscle recovery and reduce muscle
soreness by increasing circulation to the affected area. Call it "Active Rest".
You don’t need to
over do it but activity will keep the healing blood flowing and keep the muscle
loose. Even stretching or foam rolling will help your muscles heal and recover
faster than total inactivity.
Don’t push the muscles
to anywhere near muscle failure but engage in some physical activity to keep
the blood flowing and the muscle loose.
"Rest Day" means
no physical activity at all: MYTH
