Relaxing

We all love having days off. That day where we get to just chill, maybe sit back and sip on some good cold water. If you're not taking at least one day off a week, you should. I highly recommend letting your body recover after a good hard week of training. Just as nutrition supplements help your body heal, relaxing does the same. Don't think that your day off means you get to eat or drink anything you want, because that is a big fat NO. Instead eat and drink things that will help your muscles heal so when you wake up the next day you feel great, and ready to take on the day. Also drink lots of water, not just on rest day but every day! Also make sure you are getting enough sleep! I cannot emphasize this enough. You need 8 hours of sleep minimum, otherwise you will not feel good, or heal good. Another thing you need to do is start the day off right with a good breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so take advantage of that. I personally crawl out of bed for the thought of breakfast. Haha
