The World's Greatest Stretch

To accelerate off-day recovery, do some "catch-all" mobility drills like this one, which I like to call the world's greatest stretch because it accomplishes so much.

"Catch all" drills are exercises that target multiple areas of the body in one sequence, placing an emphasis on full-body motor control recruitment as opposed to a more specific or targeted drill such as glute or lat activation.

The art and functionality of the flow-based movement session fits perfectly into my idea of prioritizing what's important for active recovery days. Not only are we hard-wiring functional movement capacity, we're elevating the heart rate and stimulating the active muscle pump of the body to aid in recovery.
