Lesson Overview

11.7 – Managing Cortisol Through Active Recovery: Cortisol is the body’s stress hormone, and keeping it balanced supports better mood and metabolism. Active recovery, like light walking, yoga, or gentle stretching, calms cortisol without stopping movement completely. These activities help muscles recover while relaxing the nervous system. When you give your body space to recharge, your energy becomes more reliable and steady. Active recovery keeps progress moving forward without exhaustion. It prevents burnout by respecting your body’s need for rest. Managing stress through thoughtful movement builds a healthier relationship with fitness and improves long-term success.
