Exercise matters. Recovery matters too.
Many people believe that if their body feels stiff, weak, or uncomfortable, the solution is simple:
Exercise more.
Train harder.
Keep moving

But what happens when doing more no longer makes you feel better?

Progress doesn't happen only when we train.
It happens when our body has enough time and capacity to adapt, restore, and recover.

As we age, recovery becomes increasingly important.
