Today a surprise!
Yesterday I was on a MovNat Seminar where I was physically challenged for most of the day (in conjunction with what I did last week) so feeling a little sore with DOMS.
After a really hard workout it is tempting to want to stay in bed, sit around and watch TV, especially on a Sunday. But sometimes it really is best to keep moving, otherwise you are likely to feel even worse.
Today I'm taking it easy. But that does not mean I am doing nothing.
Do something as simple as taking a stroll through the park (not jogging), an easy-going bike ride, doing some dynamic stretches or some light gardening. No rush or heavy exertion, just take it easy.
By staying active on a 'rest' day:
Some days we do need complete downtime, other days we should train very hard. But balance should be maintained to avoid training plateaus and to maintain well-being.
Remember, active rest and recovery as part of your training: stay healthy and injury free.
