FITNESS - RECOVER - ACTIVE RECOVERY
RECOVER - EASY MOVEMENT

REST DAYS
->
Rest days are not empty days. They are where hard work gets room to land, soreness gets context, and the next useful session stays possible.
SLEEP FOR RECOVERY
Sleep is the recovery tool most people skip because it does not feel like a tool. This page keeps it tied to training, fatigue, and readiness.
SORENESS
Soreness can be normal, useful, annoying, or a warning to slow down. It is information, not proof that a workout mattered.
DELOADS
A deload is a planned reduction in training stress. It is not laziness. It is a way to keep the work from outrunning recovery.
