last REST day in our body challenge.
Most of us know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many of us still over train and feel guilty when we take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest one for a variety of reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals.
I spent my rest day with my daughter Sophia, friend Eva and her daughter Trinity. We had a great time together. We went downtown in Indianapolis and took a horse coach. Then we went to our favourite sweet factory shop and had an ice-cream and walked through down town.
What a beautiful rest day!
What a beautiful rest day!
I hope you enjoy your rest day!
