Rest Day?

toniryan3

So Wednesdays are typically rest days according to the Turbo Fire schedule...do most people take that day completely off? Or should I still be doing some sort of exercise?

Just want to get the best results during this...so I want to get the opinions on what others are doing!

Thanks!

You need a day off to rest and heal. Its not good for the body to over do it, it could lead to a injury.

For my rest days on Wednesday I like to do something light like go on a slow walk. This way I'm giving my body a break and allowing it to heal but I still am moving.

i usually take the rest day, but i move it around to a day that i know i might be busy or if i just want a certain day off then ill use that day as my rest day. its not always on wednesday.

Thanks for the post! I was wondering this same thing today.

I've been using Abs 10 on the rest day. I think something light like a walk is also a great activity. It was really hard for me to take a rest day at first because I felt like I should be doing something intense, but your body does need time to recover especially from such an intense program. I think I added in an extra fire 45 on my rest days twice and my body really paid for it. I was super sore and my energy was not where it should be kwim?

I swiched the schudle so that my rest day is sunday. I really rest on that day, unless we have something planned with the kids like sledding. Sometimes I move it if I know I am going to be real busy and not have time for it so I don't lose that day.

I started TF again this past Sunday, so today is my rest day instead of Wed. But I plan on doing some yoga on my rest days to stretch my body and relax. I am also one of those who feels like I need to be doing something everyday to stay active. I was also thinking about doing a Jillian Michaels workout like 30 day shred on rest days. Is that pushing it?
