Fitness-10/7-Active Rest Day

Wednesday

I went into the gym today with full expectation of getting after some strength work. But, as soon as I put weight for my first set of squats on the bar, I knew it wasn't to be. I up weight and went on to the next set. Did one rep, my body screamed and I call it. I moved on to the press just to see and it wasn't any better. My body hurt and I could tell it wasn't going to be productive to lift. So I ended up getting after a bunch of wheel work: knee tucks, bridge, pikes, leg curls, taps and leg lift holds. It was a good and very sweaty 20 minutes worth of work but low on the intensity scale and rest none the less. I followed it up with a good amount of stretching and work on the foam roller for a little regen. It ended up being a great session.
