Wednesday Form - Rest Up!

Incorporating rest days into your workout routine is as important as pushing yourself on the days you work out.  Exercise, especially what we do at CF, is very stressful on your body, and your body requires time to recover and rebuild.  Without rest, you might be overtraining and setting yourself up for a lengthy downtime when your body finally forces you to take a holiday.  The constant variation in CF workouts helps prevent overuse of any single muscle group (though sometimes it doesn’t feel that way!).  Most CFers also cross train by running / biking / swimming / doing yard work - basically anything that keeps the body moving.  Find the work / recover / rest schedule that works for you in order to stay healthy and perform your best!
