Today's WOD: "REST DAY"
Periodic extended rest periods are just as essential as pushing yourself past new limits. Today and tomorrow - Wednesday and Thursday - are both rest days. Take these days off as recovery time. DO NOT feel guilty and/or remorseful about not getting a workout in or working up a sweet. Remember, this is a LONG road we are on to become more fit ... this process is not a sprint! We put a TON of work and dedication into our diets and workouts, so why would we not give our body the rest it deserves in order to assist in our long term goal.
If you have achy joints, rotate ice and heat on that area for 30 tonight and tomorrow night. If you have sore muscles, ask that loved one to massage those muscles for you.
If you've adopted a diet by now, please eat the same number of calories you normally would eat on a workout day. These days are to recover from the punishment you put yourself through each day with CF. Your body needs nutrients to replenish itself. Try to eat more protein than you normally would to help build up your muscle fibers. If it runs, swims or flies ... eat it!!!
