Steve Hansen said:The idea of "recovery" is to give yourself a day off.
Each time you exercise, you cause thousands of micro- injuries
in your muscles and tendons. As those heal, you get stronger.
If you work out every day, they don't have a chance to heal.Older people (30+) heal slower than kids -- so we need to
be more careful to allow healing/recovery time.
Well said!
