Rest days always feel like a puzzle how do you balance doing nothing with actually recovering? I’m curious how others approach it, especially with backgrounds in biotech or engineering. Could we treat rest like a fermentation process, where controlled downtime leads to better “output”? Or maybe there’s a podiatrist-approved foot ritual that doubles as recovery magic.
I’ve tried everything from compression sleeves to cold plunges, but I’m wondering if there’s a smarter way. How do you optimize your rest days? Are there small tweaks like timing naps or specific mobility work that make a big difference? Would love to hear what’s worked for you!
