Rest and active recovery are tools we can use to achieve optimal recovery. A rest day doesn’t involve any exercise at all. An active recovery day is more like a cat nap: You’re still including activity in your day but at an easy to moderate intensity.

Eating the right foods during the day, regardless of exercising, will aid in your recovery and help you build muscle.

As you get back outside, here are some healthy tips for making the most of this spring season.
