Active Recovery Week

[fitme40]

Hi Cathe-
I'm finishing up Meso Cycle 1 today following your 3 month rotation. I'm really enjoying the workouts!! The variety is great. I know you suggest not doing any weights in the active recovery week which will be hard but I'm willing to try it Can you give us an example of what your active recovery week will look like? My main question is does the intensity of the cardio workouts this week make a difference? Thanks for any suggestions.

Laura

Not Cathe but I plan on doing pilates and low to moderate cardio. I'm starting the Meso 1 with cardio rotation tomorrow. LowMax, a TurboKick and Cardio Fusion mixed cardio premix will be my cardio workouts during the rotation so I want to still workout during recovery week but give my body a break. I've been fiddling with the STS workouts a liitle and I think the program (once I get into it) is gonna kick my butt...WOOHOO!!! Can't wait.

Does anybody remember whether ab work is okay during active recovery week?

I don't see why not, as working the abs is not that intense (as in putting a stress on the body).
