Workout of the Day - Active Rest Day
Wednesday, May 9, 2018
Today is gonna be an active rest day for me... that doesn't mean to lay on the couch after work for 5 hours. Still get up and get out and about. We'll probably take pupper for a walk after work (pending the rain) and do some stretching afterwards. But aside from that, just a nice day to take 'er easy.
While I personally won't be going through any mobility work, I've outlined my favorite 15 minute drill below!

Let me know if you have any questions on the above exercises and I'll see about getting some pictures/videos posted of them.
As always, make sure you’re picking and choosing your exercises based on your goals. Do your research and improve your weaknesses!
Remember, your form should come first in everything you do in the gym.
Love the process.
I think that people forget how important rest days are. Hammering it in the gym day in and day out is great but without rest, your body will begin to breakdown. After all the gym is where you breakdown the body and sleep and rest is when you build it up!
Absolutely! You've gotta give your body a chance to recover and grow. For me, a rest day will also usually give me the best night's sleep as well :)
