It’s Day 7 of 10 WEEKS TO FIT and we have our second “Active†rest day. Hope you got out and made your first Active Rest day a strong one. Today’s Active Rest mimics the first. Get up and go do some form of cardio, get your heart rate up and then end it with some quick interval training. Remember to be drinking your BCAA’s and Glutamine for muscle repair and recovery. Keep eating healthy lean protein’s and remember I don’t believe in the “four” letter word..DIET. It is a LIFESTYLE which takes patience, will power, love of mind and body and a new way of thinking in regards to fueling your body daily.
Lets get Ten-acious

If I don’t have access to a gymnasium, how can I replace the line sprints?
I have the glutamine in pill form. Do you take it after working out or before? Also it tells me to take 2 tablets four times a day. Is this correct? Thank you!
Darcy,
Take it after you workout and follow the instructions for taking them.. 🙂
What heart rate do you recommend maintaining during active rest cardio?
