Do you find that you lose weight during a recovery week better than the regular schedule for a Beachbody DVD?

    It would make sense if you did. Your muscles store water to assist in recovery after a strenuous workout, so some of the weight on the scale would be this extra water. During recovery week your muscles will shed this water as it is no longer needed, and you will potentially lose more weight. Keep in mind you are not losing fat, it is just water, you will lose more fat weight during the workout weeks.

    Personally I did not lose weight during any recovery week for any of the programs I have done. With that said my body really loved the recovery week and I did notice a pretty decent drop once I jumped into the next phase.

    Hope this helps,

    I hope to see the water shed this week which is recovery week. Trying to help it along with some jogging as well as the core work.
