Your rest days are just as important as your workout days — maybe even more. But real rest isn’t just about lying on the couch. It’s about active recovery that allows your muscles to heal, rebuild, and come back stronger.
If you’re working hard in the gym, you deserve tools that work hard for your recovery too. In this post, we’re breaking down three must-have recovery tools for women: foam rollers, recovery boots, and infrared mats — and how to use them to support your body, reduce soreness, and upgrade your wellness game.
Recovery boots are wearable devices that use dynamic air compression to improve circulation and reduce inflammation in the lower body.
Foam rolling helps improve flexibility, reduce tension, and ease muscle soreness after strength training, HIIT, or long cardio sessions.
💡 Bonus Tip:
Choose a textured foam roller if you want deeper muscle penetration or stick to a smooth roller for a gentler release.
Recovery boots are wearable devices that use dynamic air compression to improve circulation and reduce inflammation in the lower body.
Relax in a seated position, wear the boots for 15–30 minutes, and let them do the work while you read, stretch, or sip a smoothie.
Infrared mats use far infrared heat (FIR) to penetrate deep into muscles and joints, increasing circulation and promoting cellular recovery.
Lie on the mat for 20–40 minutes post-workout or before bed. Use a light towel or yoga mat to adjust temperature and comfort.
💡Pro Tip:
Look for mats that include negative ions or amethyst/crystal layers for added healing energy.
Women’s bodies go through a lot — workouts, work stress, hormones, life! Investing in the right recovery tools helps you honor your body, reduce burnout, and perform your best.
Whether you’re using a foam roller after leg day, slipping into recovery boots post-run, or sinking into a heated infrared mat to unwind, these tools empower you to make the most of your rest days.
