Active Recovery

Active people are active because they don't much enjoy sitting still.

That being said, rest is sometimes what active athlete bodies require.  Again, folks actively engaged in fitness activities find it hard to rest.  It often is not their psyche.

Triathlete Coach Sean Leenaerts recently wrote about ways we can recover, yet be active in the process, for www.active.com.  It's a worthwhile read to learn about how we can get some rest while actively working.
