Active recovery, referring to low-intensity physical activities that promote blood flow, relaxation, and flexibility, is an important part of successful fitness routines. By stimulating circulation, reducing inflammation, easing muscles and joints, as well as offering psychological benefits, active recovery promotes faster healing and resolution of workout-induced damage. Effective strategies include light cardiovascular exercises, stretching, foam rolling, temperature therapies, mindfulness activities, and active rest days.
