daily training: the importance of light days

Training daily will build your capacity to do work no doubt, but you are not an infinite machine. Sooner or later the fatigue from heavy days will manifest in feeling tired, irritable, or overly sore in key areas (lower back) limiting your overall outputs.

The easiest way to mitigate long term stress is to implement active recovery days. The overall stress should be low while still providing a stimulus.

Ideas

- long brisk walks

- push or pull sled

- kettlebell carries (multiple levels)

- band movements for high reps
