"Quick definitions (recovery)
noun: the act of regaining or saving something lost (or in danger of becoming lost)
noun: return to an original state (Example: "The recovery of the forest after the fire was surprisingly rapid")
noun: gradual healing (through rest) after sickness or injury"
Or in the case of exercise ... allowing your body to rest so that it can build the muscle, like "gradual healing", or "returning to an original state".
You do know that exercise tears down the muscles, right? And that rest builds them up stronger than they were before?
