REST & ACTIVE RECOVERY

Good job, you’re half-way through my Week Three workouts!

Take a day off today to recover.  Some light activity can be helpful in getting the blood flowing and will aid in muscle recovery.  This could be a walk around the neighborhood, a short bike ride or some stretching around the house.

Watch your diet and keep your macros on track, and always make sure to get enough protein in your diet.
