Benefits of Active Rest

Active rest, which involves taking time off from intense training, can actually be beneficial for muscle recovery and overall well-being. Research suggests that a couple of weeks of active rest can lead to a loss in muscle fullness and tonus, but this can be regained within a week of returning to training. Additionally, a month of active rest may allow you to regain all lost gains within two to four weeks. The break can also provide deep healing for joints and connective tissues, as well as reinvigorate your motivation and enthusiasm for training.
