Recovery week routine

Hi blender friends :)

I am looking to incorporate a 1 week recovery routine in-between other FB programs. I was considering the Fundamentals challenge but I would personally prefer something that is at least 30minutes long.

I tried creating my own routine with Pilates and stretching workouts trying to alternate between lower and upper body days with one core day in between. However, I don't find many upper body focused recovery workouts. Looking for inspiration here and would love it if some of you are willing to share your recovery week routines with me :)

Here is what I have so far

Day 1: Lower Body - At Home Pilates Butt and Thigh Workout - No Equipment Pilates Workout

Day 2: Upper Body - Better Posture Workout - Exercises to Improve Posture and Prevent Hunched Shoulders

Day 3: Core - Stretch and Tone for Core Stability and Back Health

Day 4: Lower Body - 35 Minute Pilates Workout for Butt and Thighs - At Home Pilates Workout

Day 5: Upper Body - !?!?

Day 6: Total Body Stretch - Refresh, Relax, and Restore: Stretching Workout for Tight Muscles

P.S. I decided to not incorporate Kelli's 3 day flexibility challenge during this recovery week since I have done is so many times. I personally love it but wanted something different this time.

Update: Thanks everyone for your tips. I made some modifications to include some cardio kickboxing, resistance band workout and active stretching :)
