Rest days in general help. After beating up the body for so many days in a row, just one rest day does wonders. Take advantage of these rest days!
I would like to point out some crazy improvement stats from Monday’s deadlift/push-up WOD…
Deb-improved by over 6 minutes
Scott-improved by over 5 minutes
That is awesome!
We are also seeing improvement in the double-unders…all it takes is practice. The times may be frustrating because they are slower – but the WOD is being done as rx’d. Always work toward getting closer to the rx column.
Paleo (or really any kind of “clean eating”) helps with performance. Look to make some small changes in your nutritional habits and that will result in serious improvements in your WOD.
And as BF has revealed…all he needs is CHALK and that helps with a faster WOD time (even with double-unders).
Happy Rest Day!
Time to get back into logging some running miles…

Two words: Stretchy Pants!
Deb that cocktail sounds delightful, but not what I would call paleo…
L-Glutamine doesn’t do much for me, but a container of some that i purchased not long ago, and its good quality, you wnat what’s left? I’ve been contemplating throwing it out, so i’ll bring it for you…
I’ve also had decent success with the Animal Pack vitamins, half the suggested dose is sufficient. (2 packs or 22 total vitamin pill in a day seems excessive to me)
Also, when buying suppliments and recovery items, i have found no better resource than http://www.vitacost.com its by far the most cost effective, literally 1/2 the price of gnc on most items.

Cheryl buys from Vitacost as well and saves the Kieran Family balance sheet some needed $$$.
Recovery – I don’t have a secret formula or anything but I have noticed that for me the best way to recover is to keep those muscles moving. I drive a desk for a living and sitting still for hours at a time makes my muscles freeze up like the tin man in a salt water bath. A few minutes of simple movement brings them back around…well bearable anyway.
I will be taking advantage of this rest day. I will practice some double unders and call it good today. I feel I am on the verge of a cold and I don’t want to overdo it. Maybe I can sweat out the bugs.

Thanks Steve, appreciate it 😀
What am I, the Paleo Poster girl, LOL? You missed the FGB Blondies; pure butter, sugar flour….nothing Paleo about them!
For me eating veggies, fruit, meat fish & nuts 97% of the time’s Paleo and seems to offset the other 3% of stuff that might otherwise melt me like the wicked witch of the west!
PSSST Charlie! The new blue rope with the knot has a lotta doubleunders left in it! I caught a good tip from another shedhead – its all in the wrists! (got my first consecutive DUs off that one)!!

congrats deb on DUs!
Charlie, I agree, I too drive a desk or conference room table for work. Sitting still is awful for those sore muscles! Sometimes I shut the door to my office & do some squats, push ups & stretch 🙂 LOL
My rest day will consist of Yoga today to stretch out the sore muscles that I’ve missed for 3 weeks! I’m so happy the sore muscles are back! Yay! Looking forward to more restrictions lifted in the next couple of weeks so I can be back 100%!!
