Feeling exhausted? Burned out? Is your workout routine just a little too intense right now? Then you might need a recovery period. FizzUp’s weeklong active recovery program Break is here to help!

Taking a break from exercise doesn’t have to mean spending a week on the couch watching TV! Why not devote this time to some active recovery instead? With the Break program, take some time off from intense exercise to rest, recover and rejuvenate.

Maybe you're tired, bored, injured, busy, your performance is stagnating or you just really need a break. If this is you, then it’s a good idea to take a few days off from your usual workout routine to release all your accumulated nervous, muscular and joint fatigue or boost your motivation to do more challenging workouts. Besides that, it’s nice to get away from your everyday routine and try other exercises that work your body differently, too.

Active recovery, which involves low-intensity exercises, is a popular and scientifically proven way to accelerate your body's return to your desired levels of functioning and performance. It’s an effective strategy for reducing overall muscle fatigue instead of through total rest. It also helps boost your wellness, increase your energy and clear your mind.

Think of active recovery as any low-impact activity that speeds up your heart rate a bit to get your blood filling your muscles with nutrients as it eliminates metabolic waste.

Break’s week of active recovery offers short workouts of 10-20 minutes using simple exercises that keep you moving without wearing you out. A little low-intensity cardio, a few core exercises and some easy strength training are all you need recover but stay active as your progress continues. In short, this program is packed with basic movements to help you maintain a minimum level of daily physical activity.

Taking a few days off from your everyday routine is sometimes what you need to get back into training with more energy and enthusiasm. Try something different and start the fun and new challenges in FizzUp’s Break program!
