Coaching Advice
Target time: Spend at least 20 minutes on mobility and recovery actions.
How to pace: Ensure a steady, gentle pace during mobility work to avoid any strain or discomfort.
How to be competitive: Even though it’s a rest day, focus on deepening stretches and targeting areas that often hold tension.
What you should feel: You should feel relaxed and slightly stretched, with a sense of relief in the targeted muscle groups after each session.
Coach Note
This is a dedicated rest day focused on recovery and mobility to aid in upper body strength building. Performing these actions will enhance flexibility, reduce soreness, and prepare the body for upcoming workouts. It’s important not to rush through these exercises, allowing adequate time for each stretch.
