A good workout doesn't end the moment you put down the barbell, step off the treadmill, or stop the timer. After physical effort, the recovery process begins, and it determines your fitness, endurance, and readiness to take on the next training session. Active recovery after training is one of the simplest ways to support muscle rebuilding after exercise, reduce soreness, and lower the risk of injury.
