This DVD includes two separate recovery workouts. Active Recovery is a bit breathier and can be used on recovery days when you still want to break a little extra sweat during your stretch routine. The Active Recovery workout will help your body to stretch and will relieve the stress of more intense routines, but it will also get your heart rate up for a little more of a "light workout" feel. Total Body Stretch is a gentler extended stretch routine for the entire body that will take you through slow, controlled movements to help you fully relax and recover. Combine these two recovery routines with an ab routine of your choice and it's the perfect combination for a complete active recovery day.
