I took Wednesday and Thursday as rest days but was active with both of them and they ended up being very purposeful. On Wednesday, I went into the gym and went through a thorough warm-up until I was good and sweaty. I then put myself through a 5 round, 1min on/1min off wheel routine working knee tucks, pikes, crab walks, inch-worm and L-sits crawls. It was a surprisingly tough 10 minutes but light enough and with enough rest to keep the intensity down accordingly. After the wheel work, I worked the foam roller and stretched almost excessively. I left feeling good.
On Thursday, I went out and played 9 holes of golf. It was a great active rest, especially with the heat. I was sweating from hole 1 on and I felt it really helped me to loosen up quick and stay loose which is something I struggle with when I normally play. And just to get out and walk for a couple hours was worthwhile. It was refreshing to my legs and the good for my mind and soul. I'll be playing again before the weekend's out.
