Good Morning Everyone!

It’s Friday, so I wanted to take a minute and share links for all of the workouts I posted this week. Remember, you should be taking 1-2 Active Rest days per week. That means you do something that keeps you moving, but doesn’t significantly raise your heart rate or challenge your body. Your muscles build and repair when they rest. This means that rest days actually help you see your results more quickly.

On Active Rest days I like to walk, hike, or go for a very easy paced run. You can schedule your workouts in whatever way works best for your schedule. You can repeat each workout, or even pair it with a different workout if you like variety.

The important thing to do to stay on track is make sure that your workout schedule works with your lifestyle. Also, recognize that your workouts are just as important as your other priorities and schedule them into your life. Your health isn’t negotiable. It impacts every aspect of your life, from how you feel in your relationships, your work efficiency, going through your days pain free, and more.

Don’t let your health be optional. It’s to important. I work as an Occupational Therapist, and every day I see the impact of long term lifestyle choices on people’s recovery times after illness or accidents. What you do today will impact your future health.

I hope you enjoy today’s workout! You can check in with me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/MelissaBenderFitness or on Instagram/Twitter: @BenderFitness

Have fun!

  1. Hi Melissa! On active rest days i usually go out for a Nordic Ski Walking session which is a “power march” involving your upper body very deeply by using specific poles. As a result, you have an efficient total body workout, very similar to cross country ski. It helps you burn 40% more calories than regular walking if done correctly. I suggest you to give it a try! 🙂
