Rest Day!!!
Wednesday 02/10 - REST
1.) The relief from work or activity afforded by sleep
2.) A relief from exertion, a state of quiet and recreation
3.) Peace, freedom from trouble, tranquility
Kicking back and taking advantage of a Rest day has always been one of the things that I've struggled with. I seem to get bored easily and must just enjoy being busy all the time but one thing i've learned from CrossFit that has paid me great rewards is the appreciation of Rest. Everyone needs to have a little R & R just to keep sane. Rest plays a huge role in our daily goals, there is no getting around it. If you are able to workout 5 days straight and don't feel the need for a rest day...you need to check your intensity and dedication of the workouts you perform. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying you should be experiencing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) after every WOD, but these are some tough tests we put our bodies through on a daily basis and the least we can do repay ourselves with some relaxation (maybe even some Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream like i do on occation). Back at it tomorrow!!!
For my rest day i'm kicking back and watching some NCAA Rival Week Basketball!!! Go HEELS!!! March Madness here we come!!!
