    Have worked out really hard the past 5 days. I’m taking today off just to give my body a rest.

    This is perfect for me today as I’ve been suffering from an ongoing sinus problem and spiked a fever last night. Even cancelled appointment and kept my 3-year-old cause I couldn’t drive. Sleeping and eating healhty today.

    After injuring my foot (stress fracture), I learned the hard way that rest is critical to sustainable fitness.

    i’ll be running errands so that is light-duty excercise for the day. that’s manageable.

    yesterday i got up at 6 and went for a snowshoe hike in the woods with a friend, then was back at school for a 10 am class, then went for a run and did some conditioning after! needless to say, today was a good day to take a break… i’m just going to do yoga later today. it’s nice to relax =]

    I usually relax on Sunday and Saturday I only do a half workout. And then going into Monday I work out longer, but a less strenuous workout, just to warm myself up for the week I guess.

    It was hard to try and relax on a day I usually exercise.

    I only exercise a few days a week, some short 20-30 min cardio maybe twice, and some yoga or strength while watching tv 2 or 3 times a week. It’s not on any set schedule so I totally give in on days I’m just not in the mood.

    funny this is the challenge today, i usually do a cardio workout every morning before work — today i decided to do yoga instead – it was so nice, relaxing & challenging—however, guilt for not doing ‘sweaty’ cardio is trying to get to me….. yoga is awesome
