Station 8
Rest & recovery days
Loops need recovery laps—gentle movement, not total couch lock or punitive rest.
Active vs passive recovery
Active: easy walk, loosen band, sleep focus.
Passive: extra nap or off-feet time after unusually hard weeks.
Both belong in a sustainable loop.
Recovery menu
- 10-min easy walk at conversational pace
- Station 1 loosen only—skip strength
- Hydration and earlier lights-out
- Light meal prep for next workweek
When to add a second recovery day
Travel weeks, illness, or poor sleep stacks—two lighter days beat pushing through and missing the whole loop for a month.
Reflection
Recovery is part of performance for daily life—not laziness. Log how you feel Monday after a true recovery Sunday.
