Rest makes me stronger

-Today is the 3rd day in a row that I have not done any kind of training. I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my knees and hips, so I have decided to rest for a few days. Before these three days of rest I was on a seven day binge of training and playing soccer and my body just wasn't having anymore of it so I have chosen to listen to the pains in my body and head up to the cottage and just rest.

After competing in the GNC XFIT throw down I took 2 days of rest, but went to doing two a days for the next 3 days then continued working out hard until my body really started to hurt a lot. The hardest thing about taking this rest is the fact that I haven't sat still at all, I'm just programmed to keep active and move. I'm sure that this break will do me well and after my return I will be trying out a structured cycle of a healthy balance of strength and Met-cons. With heavy squats at least once a week.

For my return I have purchased a pair of Merrell Trail Glove Shoes with the "Vibram" soles. I can wait to try these puppys out!
