I'm currently in week 9, so it's my last week of Phase 2. Looking back at my notebook, I already think I could go heavier next time I try the Phase 1 workouts, but I want to complete my full rotation before I try Phase 1 again. And I have noticed A LOT less soreness in my lower body from doing the recovery workouts. Loving it so far!!
A couple of questions for you... are you only doing the Recovery workouts during your Active Recovery weeks or do you sprinkle them in your rotation? A 2nd question is what are doing during your Active Recovery Weeks? Thanks!
