Recovery is becoming recognized as one of the most important aspects of physical activity and overall wellness. There are many ways to recover along with varied levels of scientific support. it’s important to remember that both scientific and other narrated evidences point to the value of an appropriate recovery plan to encourage adaptation, wellness and performance.
We eat, sleep, train, repeat and constantly striving to get bigger, stronger, faster or slimmer but is there a point where too much becomes harmful? Many recognize the need for recovery after exercise or a stressful day in an effort to avoid being "burned out"
Most of us don't understand what it takes to fully recover and whether we have actually achieved that state. There are terms like overtraining, over usage and nonfunctional overreaching and wonder “Why do they get so much attention today?” To answer this, it takes a basic understanding of homeostasis, which by definition is any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival.
