Are Recovery Rides Worth It?
The Recovery Ride
In this podcast I explore whether there is a benefit to riding in recovery zone. What intensity you need to ride in if you are going out ? The rules you need to follow if you don't want to waste your time and one tip almost everyone is skipping - how to get some extra fat burn on a recovery day.
“My Monday recovery ride was always my favourite day of the week when I was a full time bike rider”

Joovv Everyone Needs Healthy Light, But Most People Don’t Get Enough. Light is essential for our health and cellular function, just like water, sleep, and the nutrients from food. The human body is designed to function with an abundance of natural sunlight, but with our modern lifestyles, most people don’t get nearly enough light every day. The average American spends over 90% of their time indoors. That’s not nearly enough natural light for optimal health and balance! Worse yet, much of the time we spend indoors is filled with bright blue light from screens and overhead lighting, which can have a negative effect on sleep and circadian rhythms.
