Recommended Rest and RecoveryUpdated 15 days ago

Each of the four modes has a slightly different protocol for rest and recovery. For Strength and Power workouts, it is recommended that you have at least 48 hours of rest between training sessions. This is because Katalyst activates all major muscle groups simultaneously in each 20-minute workout. This intense session requires your muscles to recover fully to maximize growth and performance. The principle of super-compensation comes into play here—after a workout, your body needs time to recover and rebuild stronger. Typically, this optimal recovery period is between 48 to 72 hours.

Cardio and recovery workouts are a little different! Cardio sessions can be done every day if you wish. This is because, unlike strength training, Cardio workouts with Katalyst primarily target aerobic and muscle endurance without putting as much strain on your muscles. This means you can enjoy daily cardio sessions to keep your heart and lungs in tip-top shape without overtaxing your muscles.

Using cardio mode, enjoying your favorite cardio workouts, or doing active recovery (like walking, yoga, etc.) are great for in-between or even stacked onto the end of one of these sessions.
