Dec 11

Buy 3!

Get your rest on! Your rest days are also recovery days. CrossFit can leave you pretty sore, especially when you first start and your body is adjusting to new movements or movement at all for that matter. Soreness may last up to a few days. This is okay, you will begin to recover faster as you get more fit.

What should I do on my Rest Days?
Sleep! Obviously this should be done everyday. Most of your recover occurs while you are asleep. Do it and do a lot of it to maximize recovery and performance.

Hydrate! Do it and do a lot of it. Water helps flush out lactic acid and other waste that causes soreness. Rehydrating the muscles will also keep inflammation down.

Stretch and Roll Out! Do it and do a lot of it. This will keep blood and nutrients flowing to the muscles which will help them recover.
