During the next 12 weeks, our “Rest Days” aren’t going to be just sitting it out for the day. Since I am trying to lean down, I need a bit of cardio…just a bit. So we’ll do 30 minutes of interval training on any cardio machine you’d like.
Training
Cardio
Today is your active rest day, and besides doing cardio, another way you can use your rest period is to work on your flexibility. It’s something that does take a lot of work but the benefits will pay off in the long run. Spend an extra ten minutes stretching after your cardio today to help reduce soreness from your workouts and improve your flexibility.
