Yesterday was my first official cross training day. I did a 30 minutes session of strength training. I was worried about being sore today but pleasantly surprised! I can feel my workout in a few spots but nothing really noticeable. I hope tomorrow is the same way! The worst is when the soreness hits on the second day...so much more intense and lasts longer! After some stretching, I did 25 minutes on a stationary bike...so...boring! Thank goodness for my music! I think on the next cross training day I will do the elliptical. Hopefully I can do some hiking when the weather improves and there is more daylight. Oh, and there is swimming! I think I will really enjoy cross training days!
Today is the first official day off which sounds easier than it is. I have to rest my body today, meaning I am not supposed to work out...period! Should be easy but I feel like I am breaking my routine...like I am cheating...like I am slacking off. I know that the rest days are REALLY important but it feels off. Hopefully, I can get into the new routine and habit and the rest days won't feel so odd.
