Is Walking The Best Active Recovery? Training vs Recovery in Midlife Women
This clip focuses on how recovery, not just hard training, supports strength, mobility, and long-term performance in midlife. Here, we take a closer look at active recovery strategies like walking, deload weeks, and mobility work, and why they become non-negotiable for women as hormones shift. The conversation explores how inflammation, tissue repair, joint health, and the nervous system all factor into recovery, especially during perimenopause. We also examine why asynchronous training splits and intentional rest can help reduce injury risk while supporting consistency and adaptation over time.
