I was planning this as a rest day because it had been since last week since I took time off. I cannot stress the importance of taking rest days. Over-training WILL happen if you like to workout. You’ll train and train and train and suddenly you feel like shit and don’t know why.
On rest days do some mobility work. Aim to complete a 15-20 minute routine where you hit every body part. These feel amazing after.
Indian clubs are also a staple of my rest days. My shoulders feel ready to go after a mere five minutes with these bad boys. An Indian club workout does not need to be super complicated. A simple routine like this one can do wonders:
Foam rolling will also happen on my rest days. Loosens up the back, hamstrings and hips better than anything!
1:00-Low Carb bread with almond butter, ½ scoop of casein and low carb jam. Makes for an amazing low carb Almond butter sandwich
3:00-4 oz smoked salmon, 6oz cottage cheese
8:30-8oz chicken breast with 2 cups steamed broccoli
11:00-3 eggs, cheese, ham, mixed nuts (not together)
