Athletic recovery equipment has become a growing trend for elite athletes to gain an advantage on feeling fresh every day. We came up with a list of the best holiday gifts to give your athletic loved ones an edge! `

What if after an intense day of training you can just sit or lay down and recover the next day? The last thing you want to be doing is use your body for more physical activity. Your body is exhausted. Stretching, foam rolling, or a recovery bike workout feel just like another tiring exercise. Those exercises are great to increase flexibility and blood-flow on the short term, but they do not cure muscle soreness to the extent that you can bring it 100% every day. Your body needs real recovery.

Here are the best athletic recovery tools for holiday gifts in 2019!
