Rest day – Active recovery – Prehab

I haven’t had a true rest day in the last weeks. Usually my rest days are low volume days (every fourth day) where I practice handstands, do some core work and prehab.

After a pretty heavy workout week, today I skipped the handstand work (because I will focus on those this week) and bascially did a really thorough extended warm up / prehab session before breakfast.

My active recovery looked like this:

• joint mobility / rotations
• foam rolling
• leg swings
• extended shoulder warm up
• light stretching of the whole body
• tabata rope skipping to get the blood pumping (fastened cardio anyone ?)
• wrist curls
• extended static passive stretching session

Duration: around 90 minutes

Then breakfast: meat, nuts, veggies, protein shake.

In the afternoon / evening I will do another mobility and static passive stretching session.
