It’s Day 6 of 10 WEEKS TO FIT and we have our  first “Active” rest.  This means, although rest is important, it is still necessary to remain active on those days. The body, mirrors the mind, and needs stimulation every day.  Even after a grueling 5 day workout it is still crucial to get up and move.  Active Rest can consist of yoga, running, biking, hiking, swimming, or a combination of activities.  Today I will be doing 45 minutes on the stair climber and ending with dead belt sprints on the treadmill.

Lets get Ten-acious

 

 

 

 

10 WEEKS TO FIT-DAY 6: Active Rest

2-Dead Belt Sprints-30 seconds: 5 sets of 30 seconds ( 90 second rest between reps).

*dead belt sprints are done by leaving the treadmill OFF and using your legs to start and turn the belt, speeding up as you get the belt going.
