Rest/Recovery day

Today was a day off the weights.  But I still try to be active.  Sometimes I'll go for a walk; or do some light kettlebell swings.  Today I did some light jump rope.

I am not the best jumproper.. or is it rope jumper... Any who.. need to get my breath back for the desert. And I believe with jumping rope, a little goes a long way. From experience, if I start these too much too quick my calves get wicked tight. Today 20/40 intervals, 7 easy rounds. #lasvegas #getbetter #getstronger #santamonica #LosAngeles #garageworkout #conditioning #jumprope #outofbreath #ithoughtthiswasrestday

I also like to take a little time to loosen up any areas that feel a bit tight.  Some weeks everything feels fantastic, so I 'high 5' myself and go about my day.  Other days I have a couple areas that require a bit of attention.  From time to time (depending on my training) all sorts of things have the "potential" to pop up on the radar.  Recently with the new baby I have been sitting a lot more than I normally do, so the hips are a bit tight; typically my lower limb(s) seem to run tight, the shoulder blade, the forearm.

The Hips

It's recovery day. Getting in a couple stretches/loosening up some tissues. Here I am loosening up the hips using a bench. #santamonica #LosAngeles #lasvegas #getbetter #getstronger #recovery #calmbeforethestorm #yinandyang #ahh #itsadeepburn

The lower limb

Stretching out my lower limb(s). This stretch does wonders for making me feel realigned. #santamonica #LosAngeles #lasvegas #getbetter #getstronger #recovery #calves #popliteus #anteriortibialis #peroneals #lowerlimb #recovery #fitness
