If I had the same amount of energy as Grayson boy I wouldn't have to take a rest days, but at 28 years old I need to listen to my body. I planned on doing some light skill work this morning before work but I woke up feeling like a truck hit me. Gillian gets on me alot because I often times skip my rest days and workout hard 5-6 days in a row with double WOD days included. This morning there was no question in my mind that I needed one or two days out of the gym. Time to get adequate sleep(7-8 hours), stretch and get some trigger point therapy, and eat some nutrient dense foods. Taking days off aren't just about staying away from the gym. Its what you do on your rest days that matter the most. Quality rest days are what counts!A few months ago Gillian and I started using trigger point therapy to recuperate and work out stiff muscles. It has made a huge difference in how fast we bounce back from hard workouts. Here is a link to checkout some trigger point gear.
