Active Recovery

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A DAY OFF

During the days that I don't go to the gym you should still be doing something active. You shouldn't just be sedentary for the day. Go for a light jog. Go Hiking. Kayaking. Rock climbing. Even go for a 20 minute walk. Or  do some mobility work. The more you work on your mobility the better your mobility will become. It's like anything else the more you work at it the better it gets. It's also a good thing to speed recovery from the grueling workouts that you did all week. Its also used for getting you body ready for the next workout coming up. But once again, I cannot express this enough you need to work on your mobility all the time.

WORKOUT
Active recovery jog - 2.5 miles moderate speed
Mobility Work
- Focus on the sliding tissues of my lower extremity with massage

Personal
Weight:  184lbs
Hours of Sleep: 7.5
NOTE: Everything feels really good. Did get a blister on the bottom of my left foot during my run. Probably from not wearing socks which was dumb on my part. But you can't let small injuries keep you from training. Going to take care of it. I need to make sure, since its on the bottom of my foot, that it doesn't alter my gait pattern. If my biomechanic are thrown off this can lead to other injuries up the kinetic chain.
