Here’s your much-needed first Rest Day! How do you feel about this? Are you feeling "YAHOO" or more like "BOO-HOO"? It sounds funny to say and I'm not a workout-a-holic, but rest day is hard for me! I like to stay consistent and it keeps me in check. When my exercise goes out the door, my nutrition is usually just a few steps behind it. If you're like me, listen to your body and push past this! Remember, we are doing a program and to get the intended results, we MUST TRUST THE PROGRAM AND DO THE PROGRAM. All in, even rest days!

I also want to stress the importance of self-care. You’ll hear Autumn talk about it a lot in during 80 Days Obsession. Here's why - we are training like an athlete y'all. We really are! These are not beginner workouts! You need to stretch, relax, and let your body recover from what you’re putting it through, plus, your muscles will have a chance to lengthen out and be ready for what they next 6 days have in store for them. Autumn created two bonus workouts that you can use anytime (but especially on rest day) which are Roll & Release and Stretch & Release. You'll need a foam roller for this and at first, it might hurt. But that's good pain and you're getting all the lactic acid out and increasing circulation to help relieve muscle soreness and restore mobility. Push past any pain and you'll feel better in the long run.
