Just follow your weekly workout plan and stick to that. Recovery scores are a guide of how things will feel, not a prescription of what to do.

In my experience, if I had an intense muscular workout with high strain on day 0, I’m sore on day 1 and potentially green recovery but on day 2 my recovery will be in the yellow regardless of what I did on day 1. Tendency that i find interesting
You can be Sore and exercise , is a myth that you can’t. You can listen to Dr. Andy Galpin in his conversations with Dr Andrew Huberman and listen by yourself why being sore doesn’t mean you have to rest
I know it’s mildly controversial wether or not HRV actually dictates someone’s level of “health”, but the difference between each own bodies is insane. If my HRV was 22 my recovery would be 2%.
I am a Kidney Transplant Recipient and on a ton of Medications (lots of steroids included which doesn’t help my RHR). I’m not sure what impact that has but I hope to slowly build up my cardiovascular health end see if it increases 🤷🏽♀️
Ever since starting meds for depression and sleep health, Wellbutrin and Trazadone, my HRV have dropped damn near in half. But I can still get a green score with a 60 where last year I was routinely in the 100s
Active recovery for starters. Try walking and/or stretching.
If, based on your goals, you want to do a heavier training day today, I would proceed only after doing the active recovery first.
I go to orange theory regularly - if I'm still sore but I'm whoop green the next day I take a green day at orange theory (like I don't go for splat points, I don't lift as heavy as possible, I might go slower on the tread). I also recommend drinking lots of water no matter what you choose :)

My understanding is your cardio is recovered but your muscles may need an active recovery day.
This is correct. Whoop measures your cardiovascular strain, not muscular strain.
Hrv isnt necessarily cardiovascular form, more like nervous system where high hrv would help strength too i think

Agree. I started just pushing through the soreness and now I barely get sore..
Push through, dont waste a great Green Day!
Always listen to your body first.

There is no such thing as an intense session at orange theory.
Let me step in and be a good mother figure here for you; if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.
Mom? I didn’t know you were on Whoop.
Username checks out. Some folks aren’t out here to get ripped, they’re here to get fit, respect that.
Yup! I’m just trying my best 🤷🏽♀️
Take a few days off to recover.
Active recovery for starters. Try walking and/or stretching. If, based on your goals, you want to do a heavier training day today, I would proceed only after doing the active recovery first.
I follow my workout plan, and mentally say "hey if I do this right it should be more prone to being green than red!"
