Damascus W3D4

Rest Day


You can either make this an active recovery day or a full rest day. Sometimes I choose to walk more than usual on days like today, or even get on an airbike and do some light work.

Base this rest day on how your body is feeling and how your head is handling the workouts. Don't be afraid to take a day completely off.

Highly recommended regardless of whatever you choose during the day to do some stretching to alleviate any continued muscle soreness as you prep for Day 5
