Rest and Recovery
Many fitness enthusiasts believe that in order to get great results one must kill themselves in the gym day in day out. The problem is this leads to extreme wear and tear and never allows the body to fully recuperate. This is a friendly service reminder to put down the kettlebell, drop the barbell and just go take a break. Your body will thank you for it.

What about dancing? Could that be a good rest day? No specific routine in mind; just turn on my favorite itune songs and just jam away for 30 - 60 minutes. Would 60 minutes be excessive though?
BTW, thanks for a great blog. I just recently discovered kettlebells and your site. I also just recently bought your MB45 DVD set. I'm starting your 6 week program. My goal for right now is to lose weight and get lean. So that's why I'm asking about the dancing for rest days. Would that work, or should I do some other kind of cardio exercise/routine?
Thank you for any advice.
