I am not one to normally take time off, even if I go on a long vacation, but over the 4th of July, I was gone for an entire week and I did nothing in the form of traditional working out but we did go canoeing and paddleboating!
(Well in these pictures we are actually RIDING, but we DID paddle and peddle in both first, then let the kids have a try.)
We got back Monday and Tuesday I did some Lower Body PIYO, coming up with a routine for my Fit Chick Express girls. Wednesday was Obstacle training at FCE, Thursday I did bodyweight cardio with my girls and Friday was my weight workout. Um.. yea, I am finding out it was WAY too much at one time.
For the last 3 days, I have hardly been able to move. Everything below my waist is incredibly sore! I have tried rolling, but dang that hurts! So today I decided to go for a nice walk and then do some yoga. I found the perfect one called Bend and Stretch and it was PERFECT for what I needed. Already my legs feel better…well I should say they are not as sore. 😉 And I was able to do some adrenal healing by slowing down my movement and focus on breathing. Fixing two things at once! WIN-WIN!! 
One other thing I added today as I forgot to incorporate all week was my branch chain amino acids and glutamine supplement for recovery. They have been HUGE at keeping the muscle soreness to a minimum. This MRM brand uses stevia instead of artificial sweeteners which is why it’s one of my favorites.
