Hi all, I’m just curious what do y’all do in your rest days? Active recovery? Walking? Foam rolling? Or just nothing? ---

Hm I’ll share if no one else is willing to 😀 Usually I do one other sport once a week (lately it’s been indoor climbing), so I plan my Freeletics sessions for other days. On days when I do not have Freeletics or climbing, I do not have a specific active recovery plan, I just always try to keep active - cycle to work, walk all the stairs and escalators if I need to take the metro. On some weekends, when time permits, I go for a hike. I am a hyperactive person, so I generally just move around a lot 🤣 Are you doing something, or considering? ---

Before when I had more time I used to do mobility sessions. Now I have a tight schedule and I am trying to be active by doing some resistance bands movements during the day, I take several quick breaks (5 minutes or less) while I work in my office to do those. I don’t know if that’s enough though 🤷🏻‍♂️ ---

Hey Carlos. Same than Sofia, I used to keep active those days, doing something with less impact such as mobility or a different kind of activity like walking. I also try to make some joint strengthening, shoulders, knee, ankle… depends on how I felt during the training week. ---

Hey Carlos 👋🏻 Active recovery all the way 💪🏻 Cycling in my HR Zone 2 for an hour works really well for me, it just takes a lot of discipline to keep it in Z2 though 😅 One thing I got really in to last summer was SUPing which makes a great rest day exercise. These are also great activities to count towards one’s Base 😉 Like everyone else, I’m usually getting some walks in, even on training days I’m trying to walk 10k steps. :clapclapstatic: ---

Sofia, I wish I could ride a bicycle to work. I usually drive between 45 to 1 hour. That’s my commute lol . but that sounds fun! ---

yeah, definitely one’s Base is helping me to stay consistent and add some extra activity like the bands as I said. how do you divide 10k steps during your day? ---

> [@Carlos1](#): > > how do you divide 10k steps during your day? I just try and walk everywhere 👍🏻 If I can walk in to the town centre rather than drive or catch a bus, then I’ll walk. Usually a dedicated walk of 45-60 minutes in addition to just everyday “moving about” brings me up past 10k, it’s also a good way to unwind after a busy day. :clapclapstatic:
