A Dedicated Space for Active and Passive Recovery Pre- and Post-Workout
Welcome to the JCC Recovery Room
The Recovery Room is a dedicated space to aid in active and passive recovery pre- and post-workout.
Research shows that recovery is just as important as exercise, affecting the inflammation, soreness and lactic acid build-up in your body, as well as your risk of injury.
Active recovery means staying physically active while you recover from higher intensity exercise by using gentle, non-strenuous movements.
Passive recovery requires no movement at all; you simply let your body rest while you sit or lie down.
Some of the benefits of Recovery are:
· Reduces the buildup of lactic acid in the muscles, minimizing post-exercise stiffness and discomfort.
· Helps alleviate fatigue and improve moods that typically crash after a big sporting event.
· Promotes blood flow to the joints and muscles, counteracting inflammation.
