You probably know that recovery is an important aspect of fitness. It makes sense: If you bounce back fast from workouts, you’ll build more muscle and run faster. 

What’s harder to understand is recovery’s role in overall health. As it turns out, recovery isn’t just about athletic performance. It also supports immunity, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.

If you can improve your recovery, you’ll be more energized and less prone to soreness and injury. As a result, you’ll find it easier to keep your body in motion. You’ll be more likely to make it to the gym before work, hit your 10,000 steps, or join a friend for a last-minute 5k run.

As your activity level increases, so will your health.
