Day 066 - Relaxation

Rest day        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY IS A REST DAY. Here's a reminder of something we said earlier in the program: focus on relaxing while you're swimming, cycling, and running. Think of the elite athletes you see on TV. They're moving fast but their faces are relaxed. As the saying goes, "the face muscles ain't connected to the leg muscles." So in your next workout, focus on moving while staying as relaxed as possible, especially in the face and shoulders. Learn to recognize when you're carrying tension, take a deep breath and as you exhale, RELAX! One way to relax is to have the peace of mind that comes with good, safe, equipment. If your helmet does not fit snugly on your head, or if it's been banged around over the years, then you should think about investing in a new one.
