Recovery Day

TAKING ACTION:

✅Tell me how you plan to spend your rest & recovery day? Will you take advantage of the yoga/mobility workout today? Take a walk? Something else? **workout in comments***

It’s Rest & Recovery Day, and you know what I’m going to say, don’t you?

Taking proper rest & recovery days from working out is critical when it comes to balancing your cortisol rhythm. Here’s why ⬇️

Exercise briefly raises cortisol to help your body handle the workout, which is normal—but skipping rest days can keep it high for too long, making it harder for your muscles to repair, leaving you more open to getting sick, and messing with your sleep. Taking recovery days lets cortisol drop back to normal so your body can heal, get stronger, and avoid burnout.
