Today’s training may be confused with all other information. Let’s look at the area of proactive recovery and whether it is important. The strength level of this field is its subject. You can ride easily. Lower than your second zone/endurance/magic zone. You can let the blood flow while exercising to restore your body.

When you do a hard exercise, such as Tuesday, it will make you completely tired. The best thing you can do after that is to recover. There are two ways to resume activity or passivity. Obviously, positive recovery means doing something to help positive things. Passive recovery requires many layouts. Both recovery methods have advantages. Maybe both have some advantages! After the hard training on the same day, I will ask for 20-30 minutes of active recovery, and then take some time for passive recovery.

Active recovery and very low intensity exercise can increase muscle blood flow, discharge muscle lactic acid, remove muscle waste, accelerate the process of treating muscle rupture and pain, promote metabolism, improve mood, improve sleep, and improve cognitive function.

Active recovery is a good method to use between interval sets. After the interval, rather than completely stop, it is better to continue to exercise to maintain blood flow. On the contrary, it will help blood beat and let the muscle group prepare for the next interval. It is also good to recover actively after high-intensity training or competition. In this very simple training area, it only takes another 20~30 minutes to maintain blood flow and start the recovery process. You can also spend a day. For example, do a small active recovery day after a large training, and then do a manual recovery day after the active recovery day.

Good activities for active recovery can be walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, basketball, cleaning the house, yoga, rolling foam, stretching, massage, and many other relaxing exercises. Don’t feel tired during this period.

I do believe that both active and passive recovery has its purpose. Especially when used together. I think we need to recover actively after the rest period and hard training. Passive recovery is equally important and can be performed after active recovery. If you find something suitable for you, you will feel different!
