Active Recovery to Relieve Muscle Soreness Fast | Low Impact Walk growwithjo

Recovery is so important! It is often overlooked because its sometimes challenging when you are on a roll to take a day off. But that is when the muscle growth happens and when your body is able to catch up to all the hard work that you put in.
Did you know that if you're not recovering properly, you may not be able to see the results that you want to see? While you exercise, muscle is being broken down and gets tiny tears in them. Its in the recovery that it is being built back up and your body is making it easier for you to make progress.
So next time you are questioning whether you should take a rest day, the fact that you are questioning it may mean that its time!
Todays routine is for those days where you want to rest but you also feel the need to move your body, get the blood flowing, and stretch out the soreness.
A couple other ideas to help reduce soreness:
Epsom salt bath - this is great even to help your muscles relax so that you can sleep better at night
Contrast shower - taking the last 5 minutes of your shower to alternate between hot and cold (concentrating the shower head on the area of your body that is most sore) - this helps bring more blood flow to the region and helps flush out the soreness.
Drink more water - this one is the most underrated but your muscles and body need lots of water to recover and bounce back. Drink lots of water when you start to feel soreness coming on
Increase your protein - when you increase your dietary protein, this provides your muscles with the fuel they need to build back up!
Sleep - do your best to get 6-8 hours of sleep at night for proper recovery and ultimate release of growth hormone! This will help you recover, help your muscles grow, and help your metabolism!
If you've read this caption all the way through, make sure to comment below in the description what current way you are intentionally recovering, and what you might add to your routine now that you have a bit more information!
Thanks, as always for coming and watching my workouts and showing up for yourself! Im so proud of you

78 year old, loving your routines. arms, abs and cool down with more as I progressL. love you Jo, so cheerful and at least useful exercise which makes me sweat while I enjoy it..... showing results already,. off for a cold drink and shower.

[@growwithjo]

I am so happy to hear that!

[@Queen-sw8zp]

That’s awesome 👏 yes!!! You go baby...78 young that’s what you are....😘😘😘👍🥰🌹

[@cashmerehazel21]

Have you in your 78 years seen "Subscriduh" used in any way like at 17:20 ?😂

[@gotom8885]

Woow 78? How many times a week you exercise doing jo workout?

[@brittanymacdermott9389]

Please create more recovery walk videos, I love these and they are super helpful ❤️ thank you for all that you do

[@kristenglenn7026]

Agreed this is my go to for all the other growwithjo videos that make me oh so sore lol I do this once every few weeks & another would be amazing just to switch it up a bit :) very grateful for all the content either way 💜

[@latriciafinley4823]

This is EXACTLY what I needed today! I’ve committed to working out 5 days a week. Today was every bit of hump day for me. I went to Costco and you know how heavy that stuff can get. Carried all that stuff in, later took a nap. Promising myself I was going to do some kind of moving before I went to bed for the night. Cut to me waking up and being really sore, I mean really. But I still wanted to do SOMETHING. Scrolling through all Jo’s videos, I found this gem. Everything from the calming movements, to the music (👌🏾), to the lighting and lastly the cutest pup ever hanging out and standing up?!😂 Vibes? Immaculate. Thank you so much for this one @growwithjo !!!❤

[@BeautyliciousBudgeting]

I’ve had a cold, but still keeping up with my workouts. Thank you for a less intense week for us who are still recovering 😁

[@aditibhalerao6453]

She’s the lady who keeps it real!!! Not a single day goes by when I don’t see this lady! Such a motivational person.

[@rachel1152]

I don’t know if you consider this video a workout but I’m so grateful for it. I have endometriosis and it’s hard for me to workout right before my period starts and while I’m on it and this has helped soooo much with working up a small sweat and being active! I normally never comment but I appreciate your content so much Jo!

[@growwithjo]

I am so happy this helped out Rachel I totally understand how much of a challenge that can be!

[@ginafuller1654]

This is what joyful movement feels like!! Thank you Jo! I look forward to moving with you on the daily, it’s feels like self-care and not a chore. ❤

[@paytonouber6448]

My biggest step towards practicing recovery is to drink plenty of water! I also like to add bedtime yoga routines before bed to help stretch out those sore muscles. I loved the morning mobility video from this week. I can't wait to see this one! I will probably add it to my weekly workouts.

[@growwithjo]

Such a good step! Thank you for sharing 🥰😉

[@lot1111]

I relate to this! I have fibromyalgia and I've noticed doing yoga every day really helps me get less sore after jo's workouts! And i recently started doing bedtime yoga too and i feel so much better! Keep up the good work 🙏

[@nikkihummel120]

This was exactly what I needed today! Please make more recovery walks! This was perfect for my aching muscles. And oh my gosh how cute is your dog?! I could not stop smiling. Love this one so much!

[@poetrybylorelei]

Thank you so much Jo! I deal with brutal PMS fatigue, so this is the perfect amount of effort for the week I need a boost the most and this way I don't lose my progress from my more intense workout weeks. would love to see more videos like this and gentle options for moon time!!

[@asmrdesarita]

Two days ago I fell off the stairs (luckily all good, only have a big bruise on my 🍑 which didn't let me walk as good as before) and I took these days to rest. Today I told me "i'll try to do a low impact workout and I already know which one I am going to do". This one! Thank you growwithjo ♡ you changed my life, I discovered your workouts in 2022 and I continue to choose YOU. From Italy, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@christinelungu348]

Absolutely needed this workout. I'm not feeling myself today and didn't want to exercise, so grateful for this workout. Thank you 🥰

[@margina337]

Hey Jo I'm new to your channel and I've been doing your workouts on 1/19/2022 and I'm so motivated with your energy!!! This video is really helpful, for I'm a big girl that was 359lbs. And now I'm down to 273lbs.!!!! I'm now ready to incorporate exercise and I hit the "JACKPOT " when I found you thank you, thank you! P.S. your dog is soooo adorable💜!!! Many BLESSINGS!!!

[@christinariley6025]

Good morning Jo. This is Christina Riley. I haven't worked out since Christmas due to several different health challenges. Today is my first day back and this was the perfect video to ease me back in

[@Jaelia89]

This was great. I did this to keep active on my rest day and I still feel like I've done a whole workout without overworking my body.

[@cybersister8]

Love that her lil dog joins in, so cute! What a great little motivator 😁

[@andrewstaggers6296]

[@nazzbee7589]

On my rest days I usually go for a walk in the park so I'm still moving. Definitely will be adding this to my routine, especially for those days when I'm unable to go out. Thanks so much Jo PS Need more Mood Boost walks, did your 30min one yesterday and it definitely lifted my mood 💕

[@dashacrosby2869]

Thanks Jo for always uploading for us, it means a lot !🥰

[@sidneyxmalibu]

needed this today 😭. did part of the 3 mile weighted walk yesterday. i feel so much better! Thanks Jo!

[@yelitzadiaz2182]

This was a vibe Jo! Bless us with another active recovery walk 😉

[@Orange-xe4ib]

A great workout for when you're suffering from the flu and need light yet effective cardio to decongest your sinuses. Thank you! Helped mentally, don't feel as sluggish anymore, and physically! :)

[@Nobadaddiction]

YES! Such a fun active recovery routine. Almost feels like a little dance choreo 🙌

[@ritikarajmohan8263]

can i do it daily b4 sleeping

[@kielemacualay2]

After a week of kiddos being super sick and still managing my daily workouts I was super sore and unmotivated, thus video helped 100%. Please do more recovery videos! These are so great, not only for recovery, but also on those days when I'm not in the mood to workout cause these work every time! Thank goodness for your channel!

[@alishaperson5466]

Thank you so much for this workout! I religiously do your videos Monday through Friday. My back has been bothering me the last week, but it hasn't stopped me from getting up every single morning and doing a video. I came across this one yesterday and did it this morning. I'm so glad I still got my body moving and did a good workout, but it was gentle on my back. I am so glad I found your account. Thank you for making working out enjoyable! 🖤

[@HufflinPuffs]

Thank you for this, Jo. I put my body through the ringer this weekend so I’m glad for the much needed recovery week.

[@monicalowy9689]

I added this onto one of your half hour workouts because I had muscle soreness from yesterday’s workout. It was perfect! Your workouts always lift my mood and I am in awe of your business skills. You know how to work it while being genuine. Thank you for being there on YT!

[@growwithjo]

I am so glad you enjoyed it Monica! Keep up the great work babe xoxo

[@Emmatache]

I started working out a few days ago and I made a big mistake by starting with a HIIT leg day, it was great but then when my muscles cooled down, my thighs were extremely sore, and I could barely walk or sit on the toilet seat. I wanted to continue my workout but I couldn't find a good one without push-ups or sitting on the floor. But your video definitely made my morning! In the beginning thought it was super easy and could finish it without any effort, but I ended up sweating and most of all super HAPPY! I felt a bit my thighs burning when I had to lift them but it was also enjoyable! So thanks a lot for your guidance, your joy, and for sticking to a real active recovery workout as mentioned in the title! I'm definitely following your page! Looks great. Keep up the good work

[@linrocio]

Loved the tunes! This was so relaxing, easy to follow and fun. Thanks so much!❤

[@evafasano9189]

This was perfect for me today. As I'm recovering from my mess and feeling down, this video helped me to keep going. I'm almost up to a mile again. Never give up or surrender. Thanks Jo I needed this today.

[@NS-um6yd]

Why haven't I seen this workout before?! Its exactly what I need when my muscles are aching after a good gym session! A thumbs up from me once again Jo x

[@singmrsm]

Enjoyed this low impact recovery work out! Just what we needed! Thank you Jo!!! 🥰💪🏽

[@10green02]

I love this recovery workout! It is so relaxing! I do this after a toning workout and on my “rest days”! Thank for all that you do! Keep smiling! ❤️

[@lynngardner76]

This was exactly what I needed today following my other workouts! More like this please! Thank you!!

[@Anjel1e]

This was the perfect video for right now. I wasn't expecting to get passed 5 mins, but seeing your pupper got me to stop focusing on soreness and ease the tenderness I was feeling. I started to enjoy working out in a way I haven't been able to in month. Thank you to you both.

[@paulalovell7852]

Thanks Jo, always looking after her ladies ❤️

[@ailene_e]

This is a perfect one to do while on your period! I’m feeling fatigued and having some cramps but this was just enough movement to feel good, not too much. Thanks Jo! ❤

[@nusheenagire7375]

Honestly this was beyond relaxing for some reason. From the music to just the whole vibe of this video.... It's amazing. We need more!!!

[@aerisoraerith]

this couldn't be more ideal for recovery from an illness. i was so overwhelmed with not being able to move much, so thank you!

[@akenleo15]

This was the perfect warm-up to your full body routine in the Easy Bounce Forward program on the Growwithjoapp! I feel soo good and have the biggest smile on my face! Thank you Jo

[@eslinicoletti1443]

This was perfect for me today. I did this after another workout and it was a great ending to an awesome workout. I’d love to have more ‘recovery’ exercises like this. Thank you Jo for all you do 💖

[@chesilly]

With so many fitnesss gurus on KZbin sharing their knowledge, I find your routines are the best for my own pace and I'm excited to exercise to your routines from now on.

[@libbykeppel1090]

Doing this one this morning and tonight as a light fill in for the 3 mile walkoff! I really thought I couldnt do anything today, but here I am, did the 15 minutes and plan to do it again, amazing how much your body surprises you when you put it to work!!

[@xiguifei]

felt super exhausted after a loooong day today but didn't wanna lose my jo streak!!!!!!!!! found this video by accident and this is the best accident ever,,, super calming, relaxing yet fun at the same time with the superb music choice!!!!! thank u jo love u !!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@lornamyles8904]

Perfect mix with the rest and recovery in the app!! Thank you Jo!!😊🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰❤⚘

[@susanb6629]

That felt so good. I couldn't stop looking at your dog. She looked at you with such love. What a sweetheart.

[@audreysmith7820]

Hi, my family and I started working out today with this video, can’t wait to do the others. Even my son with special needs was happy to do the workout. Thanks Jo!😉

[@wicked_deftlady]

That’s awesome! May you and your family continue your healthy lifestyle. Fellow special needs mom here too! 🙋🏻‍♀️☮️☯️🌈🧩

[@nikkiroberson6251]

Amazing!!~~ I recommend checking out (everything, honestly, lol, but), for sure, any of her "dance videos" to keep you and the family upbeat and super engaged--especially when you're not as motivated to get to it. That's what worked for me when I first started this journey (and kudos/gratitudes to Jo!! I'll never go back to anyone else; whereas, she's spoiled me with her charisma and the ease in which she pushes us through the mundane!!) 😁🥰❤ Oh, and remember: getting up and doing 5-15 minutes is better than not getting up at all~♡~ All the luck 💕

Loved this! I haven't been able to workout for about two months and this was a perfect routine to start back. Thank you for all you do.

[@4honeybeereborn]

Hi! Just wanted to say I enjoy the recovery work out a lot. Because I've been pushing myself by incorporating waits over the last few days and I was definitely feeling sore. Sometimes I don't totally enjoy your music so I turn it down where I can't hear it but I promise you I always turn the volume up nice and loud so I can hear your encouragement at the end of every workout. 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for the great workout and the encouraging words that keep me going. ❤ Love you guys, GWJ fam!!! Let's do it!!!

[@theresawong4304]

I’ve been sick today so it’s been a blessing that I have a recovery day, but now I really need to move my body a bit. Thank you for thinking of us people that can’t seem to sit still. ❤️

[@mtracy2k]

Nice Jo 👏🏽-Thank you for sharing great words of wisdom and the routine. ❤️❤️ Just what my mind, body, and heart needed. Have a blessed day. 🙏🏽

[@terryprior1373]

Thank you . As I am now retired, I've just gotten into exercising. I did this video every morning for a week. Now as soon as it is going into the cool down, I restart it and do it again. I'm starting to really feel good again. After my 2 weeks, I'm going to go onto one that is a little bit more challenging. You are so much fun to work out with. (luv your furbaby).

[@delesahmercer3530]

Love your workouts Jo on a Monday this is just what I needed. Love your dog ❤ just wanted to be a part of it so cute. Thank you for always keeping me motivated! Losing weight slowly but feeling healthy.

[@John-316URLOVED]

10/10/23 I wish more workouts like this existed. This is perfect for those days when you just can't, but know you NEED to. Gentle, but still gets you moving, and you are proud of yourself when it's over because you got up and did it. Not only are your workouts good for the body, Jo, they are good for the soul too.

[@siobhanbouldin1911]

This was just what I needed. Managed to slightly tweak my back yesterday so I needed something slow, easy and low impact. Thank you!
