Your body needs recovery to rebuild and grow stronger. But should you take a full rest day or stay lightly active? Here’s how to decide.

Rest Days: Full Recharge where you should think of rest days like sleep—no structured exercise, just pure relaxation. Take it easy, catch up on rest, and avoid strenuous tasks like heavy yard work or moving furniture.

Active Recovery: Light Movement Active recovery is like a short nap—gentle activity that aids recovery. Try:
  • Walking or easy jogging - Improves circulation and reduces stiffness. 
  • Cycling or swimming - Low - impact ways to stay active.
  • Yoga or Tai Chi - Enhances flexibility and reduces stress.
  • Foam rolling or stretching - Loosens muscles and boosts blood flow.

Why Active Recovery Works: Staying lightly active helps your body recover faster by: 
  • Reducing soreness 
  • Flushing out lactic acid
  • Increasing blood circulation
  • Keeping muscles flexible 
  • Maintaining consistency in your routine

When to Prioritize Rest - Go for full rest if you're:
  • Injured or in pain 
  • Completely exhausted
  • Recovering from an intense event, like a race

Finding the Right Balance 

  • Most people benefit from both rest and active recovery
  • If you train hard often, active recovery speeds up healing
  • If your work out for general fitness, listen to your body and adjust as needed.
  • If sore but not injured then active recovery is usually the best choice.
Currently I work out hard on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. I take full rest days on Thursday and Sunday. I used to train 6 days a week with only Sunday off, but it left me drained and dozing off a lot during the day. This new routine keeps my energy levels high and my workouts effective. Rest is just as important as training.
