The Recovery Basics: Sleep, Mobility, and Rest Days

Training is only part of getting fitter. Recovery gives your muscles, nervous system, and motivation the chance to rebuild.

Make recovery practical

• Keep a consistent sleep and wake schedule when possible.

• Use gentle walking or mobility work on easier days.

• Treat unusual soreness, fatigue, or pain as useful feedback.

A rest day is not a setback. It is part of the plan that helps you return stronger and more focused for your next session.
