Day 27: Rest Day
It’s more cardio time!
But before we jump into it today, we first need to evaluate how the last cardio session went. Did it feel like too little, too much, or just right?
We are almost at the end and this is your last rest day of the program!
On this rest day, I wanted to re-visit the topic of foam rolling and stretching.
When we do foam rolling and stretching as a warm up and a cool down activity, we do it briefly. I have instructed you to do it this way for a reason. It warms up your body, loosens up the muscles, and helps them relax and recover after a workout.
However, we do get some pretty intense knots in our body, which this brief surface foam rolling doesn’t quite attend to. So, a rest day can also be used for a deeper foam rolling experience. On a rest day, feel free to foam roll and spend a little extra time on those knotty places- perhaps you will get some extra deep release!
You can watch the lower body foam rolling video here.

Tell me: How does the deeper foam rolling experience feel to you? Do you have a lot of knots?
