Active Recovery
- 20-30 minutes of light-moderate cardio of your choice (optional)
- 15-20 minutes of foam rolling
Foam rolling is a great (but slightly painful) method to get rid of soreness by breaking up lactic acid buildup in the muscles.
Do 20-30 rolls over each muscle group (here’s a great look at how to do this): quads, glutes, calves, hamstrings, upper back, lower back, piriformis, ubulus…. it’s boring but it’s part of my life.
Utilize this active recovery day to get rid of any soreness buildup from this week’s workouts.

Active Recovery (ARWOD = Active Recovery Workout Of the Day)
- 20-30 minutes of light-moderate cardio of your choice (optional)
- 20-40 minutes of yoga
Active recovery days are fairly flexible. Pretty much anything that elevates your heart rate for 20-30 minutes will do.
I like to do intervals on the treadmill or stationary bike.
