Day 49 – Rest Day
I just realized as I am posting this that I only have one more rest day during all of Insanity!
As always, a rest day is much welcomed. And, as has been the standard the last 2 weekends, I have worked hard in the yard on these beautiful sunny days. So, I didn’t rest in the true sense of the word. I was out there tilling soil for the garden and raking leaves that have been sitting for months from fall. But the yard looks great and we are ready for spring!
The past 2 weeks by Saturday my knees are feeling tender. It was the same this week. However, as I write this Monday morning, my knees feel fine. I think the rest day is so important to this whole program. In weeks past I would have shifted workouts around to get them all in and workout on Sunday. But I will not do that anymore as I realize the value of letting your body recuperate.
Only 2 more weeks to go!

I have learned in all my fitness classes that your body needs a rest day to re-build itself and make it stronger. People tend to do the opposite and then stop seeing results. The same is true in the calorie department…people think they need to cut way down on calories to lose weight, but don’t realize when they don’t feed their body as needed, the body protects itself and will conserve all calories taken in which will keep you from losing weight and lower your metabolism. Rest and food is so important
Two more weeks…wow!
