AWESOME TRAINING OVER THE LAST 5 DAYS

You have well and truly earned yourselves a rest day to relax and let the body grow stronger fitter and faster.

Rest days help to repair muscle tissue and to restore normal function of the body. Giving your body a rest from lifting weights and pounding the pavement will aid strength gains, muscle development and give rest to weary muscles, joints and nerves.

Enjoy yourself

If your like me.... you would rather be training...I get the itch to do something tough but forced rest is necessary at times.
