Research something related to your training that you want to know more about or something you want to understand better.
Nutrition, ROM, technique, speed, endurance, breathing ladders, VO2 Max, etc...
The list could go on forever
Rest your body but work your mind
Post something new you learned to comments
Anyone who wants the full benefit and results of CrossFit must understand--and then act on the information--that nutrition is the foundation for all the other work you do in the name of athletic development and elite health. The key, of course, is hormones, which regulate how the body stores and releases energy and repairs itself. And, as far as hormones are concerned, food is a drug--a very powerful drug. It is the regulator for your body's internal teeter-totter, where the interdependent levels of "good" and "bad" hormones pivot on the food you take in. The simple CrossFit nutrition prescription--"Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar"--will deliver you from metabolic derangement (i.e., hyperinsulinemia, Syndrome X, and their relatives) and keep you generally well.

tiled the basement yesterday and was exhausted after moving the 19" x 19" pieces around all day. Ran 4 miles today in the rain wearing a backpack that had approx 8 lb's of gear in it. All in all, a good cardio day.
