Depends. It can count as active recovery or it would prolong recovery depending on other stressors in your life. Do it and see.Originally Posted by OldPapa

Define an hour of aerobics.
Not all activities are created equal and some will definitely be less stressful and even help recovery.

That's a list of equipment. If you want a useful answer, you have to give proper context.Originally Posted by OldPapa

Currently I start with 15 minutes on the stairmaster, then go through the other stuff for several minutes keeping my heart rate up. If my heavy lifting is 100% then this stuff would be done at 50-60%. I'm still refining things to see what works.Originally Posted by TolerantLactose

Come on man!
We need more details.
What brand of equipment are you using? What's your star sign? What's your favourite pizza topping?Last edited by TheResistance; 03-02-2021 at 04:49 PM.

I do a 30-60 minutes of low intensity cardio most days of the week. My HR never gets about 110 BMP and I feel it aids recovery. It also allows me to take in a few more calories each day which I feel is beneficial, whether I'm cutting, bulking or maintaining. I can't stress the LOW intensity enough though; pushing it too hard for too long will certainly be detrimental to training.
It's feast or famine when it comes to cardio and strength training for me. Low, low intensity or HIIT sessions; nothing in between."The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." -Henry Rollins

I don’t know if I’d be doing more weights the day after a heavy session.Originally Posted by OldPapa
Unless it’s so light weight and the movement pattern is different enough to prevent overuse issues.
