So I mentioned that I am evaluating a TRX suspension system, by Fitness Anywhere, via a 12-week fitness program. Today was Day 24.
It really boggles the mind sometimes — I often feel guilty on days like today when I don’t workout. TRX Day 24 calls for a rest day in the strength component and a stretching/alternate cardio day for the cardio component. But really, the body needs these rest days in order to recover from heavy stress days. When the body is broken down, it needs time to recover in order to come back even stronger than before. Keeping up the intensity day after day leads to injury and poor progress, since the body never has a chance to heal.
So today was a healing day. We live to kettlebell and TRX another day.
