What Is Recovery?

Recovery involves activities that allow us to wind down, recharge, and repair our bodies after a hard day. Key recovery activities include proper sleep, stress management, and maintaining healthy muscles and joints through stretching and massage. Next time you are feeling a bit run down, consider modifying your recovery habits by following the suggestions below.
