Active rest means it’s planned in advance

Who’s watching your progress?

Active rest four days a week. Tuesday and Thursdays during the week. Plus the weekends.

Running and strength/core training just three days a week.

Have been doing this since retiring from Disney on Halloween 2014.

Quality versus quantity.

Looks good on paper.

Rest is way under rated.

It’s a strategic advantage.

It’s also more difficult than we think.

Feet up, relaxing at Epcot yesterday.

 

Chasing an impossible dream is a healthy alternative to not chasing one. In the spirit of dreaming, excellence, fun, and joy, what would happen if we upped the quality of our wellness goals while lowering the quantity?

Only exercising three times a week.

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are duel workout days. Running and gym. The effort is deliberate and intense. The frequency is low.

This may change everything.

Nationals are in 100 days.
