When it comes to rest days, some of us (including me) debate the need to rest, but the bigger question is how to rest. 

Should you do absolutely nothing, or engage in gentle movement like walking, cycling, or stretching? The right choice depends on your body’s signals that day, and those signals change week to week.

Active recovery, low-intensity movement on days off or after hard workouts, can enhance blood circulation, speed up metabolic waste removal, and ease muscle soreness.
