Day Six: True Rest Day

Monday, April 4, 2016

Wake up: 6:45am

Good afternoon! I suppose everyone joining me in this challenge will be happy to know what today is: Rest Day. This morning I woke up and did a few stretches to help start the day, I suggest you do the same. Every morning and night it's a great idea to stretch out your muscles to release any built up tension, and it builds flexibility. I enjoy stretching on days like today because I like to feel as though I have accomplished some sort of exercise every single day - even if it's Rest Day. I know it sounds silly, but there it is. Stretches make for better workouts, so check out these morning and night stretch sessions.

Equestrians & Everyone! Here's a 5 minute Yoga routine for a great night's sleep. Sometimes you have to actively unwind to truly rest up, and a bit of mellow Yoga could be your ticket to more restful sleep. This 5-minute sequence is designed to relax your body and quiet your mind so you can drift off easily into a restful, body/mind repairing sleep. It really works! Restful sleeping!:
