ad
so on my introduction post we got into the topic of rest days and people shared what they do on those days, and i just wanted to hear from anyone else who’d like to share, what do you guys/girls do on rest days besides sleep? what do you do for self care etc, what’s done in the free time where you’d normally be training? what type of meals do you eat on days you don’t work out etcetc….

AnonNo rest.
Meal prepping, food shopping, and alot of thinking about tomorrow’s workout
I personally dont take days off, but I do show up with different levels of intensity. An easy day for me is 3.5 miles of running, or light isolated muscle work on trouble areas of mine. Extra sleep or naps atleast 2 to 3 times a week.
I use these days for doing the things I Hate doing - Clothes washing/Airing, taking the bins out, house cleaning etc, Although I always give priority to nutrition whenever I am hungry or thirsty - trying to get in as much as possible from the appetite created from yesterdays training. Often treat myself to a chinese takeout hahaha I get all the plates and bars ready for the next days workout as I train at home. Often a big food shop but I often get bits in everyday as I really enjoy going to supermarkets and looking at new things to try.
