Day 58: Rest Day

WOD
20 Minutes of Rowing For Maximum Distance

Strength
5x12 Behind the neck snatch grip press
5x50 Dubbs
5x12 Ring dips



The great thing about training for CrossFit is that there is always something that you can do on a "rest" day that is easy on the body. I have yet to have a day where I do absolutely ZERO physical activity in over 3 months. I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing but I am seeing good results from this. Try it out. Rather than do nothing on a given rest day, try jogging or rowing for 20-30 minutes or something else that is relatively low intensity compared to the average WOD. I have noticed that it will help in my recovery much better than taking the day completely off. What do you think about rest days?
