Going for a light walk
On your rest days, going for a light walk or just walking the dog can be a great way to recover. By staying active on your rest days you are keeping the blood flowing to your muscles and keeping them ready for your next workout.
Stretching / Yoga

Stretching is a underrated by lots of gym-goers as it has many positive impacts on your training. For example, someone who stretches regularly will be able to perform a deeper squat compared to someone who doesn't stretch.
Meditation
