With overuse injuries on the horizon it is imperative to contradict the impending forces of doom. Without a solid contingency plan, the barbell will poison our programming with an addiction from which we'll never recover. When the supple and resilient quality of the muscle alludes us and soreness seems permanent we must redirect the energy to a more constructive nature. Swimming two kilometers and hot yoga are two of the best remedies for dislodging accumulated trauma and eradicating toxins. (This part was written prior to participating in "Active Rest")
Lesson learned. It is possible to turn rest into a damage ravaging activity that will inspire more regret than recuperation. The price of enthusiasm is always paid the next day. Listen to your body's subtle hints and clues lest it rebel in flaccid immobility. Strength only comes to those who rest. (This part was written afterwards)
Take today completely off if you have not taken a rest day this week.
Take today completely off if you are feeling any lingering soreness.
Take today completely off if you have any feeling or thought that you should rest.
Take today completely off and recharge and get motivated for the next workout.
