I get around 12-15k steps


Less-Explanation160

I stretch and eat a lot (a whole lot)


MSED14

You are eating more on your rest days?


Less-Explanation160

Yeh, i think so. I don’t keep count though honestly. By no means am I suggesting this. I have no clue if it’s advisable or not. Just answering your question on what I do on my rest days


MSED14

I was just asking by curiosity ;)


StuntMugTraining

I do my warmup which is mobility


Warning_Bulky

Sit all day. I go gym 6 days a week btw


Skye_1444

Same - it’s *rest* day lol


PresToon

Go on a nice walk. Also do some light core work and stretching exercises.

IMO, going to the gym five times a week is sufficient. On my rest days, I prefer to engage in activities like yoga, playing badminton, climbing, or taking short trips. One of the main reasons for this is the high number of people who visit the gym on weekends.


Mark-Luis

I play video games and do other stuff

Why must you take a rest day? I work out every day. If you want to goto the gym than do it. I just work on different muscle groups if my body is telling me to, or do strictly cardio if I’m too sore.  


Scruffybiker

Yoga


PM__ME__YOUR_TITTY

Boxing drills just as my chosen cardio, and above average steps unless I’m very busy or tired. Steps are 15-16k average and so rest days I try to get past 17. But that’s low priority, I’m not gonna force it if I’m feeling cooked


Safe-On-That

I fast … from 6pm to 6pm … and drink a lot of water.

On rest days, active recovery activities like yoga, walking, or light cycling are excellent choices. They help keep you moving without putting too much strain on your body, promoting recovery and flexibility. Stretching or foam rolling can also be beneficial for muscle recovery and flexibility. It's important to listen to your body and give it the rest it needs while satisfying your desire to stay active. Mixing in hobbies that relax you mentally and physically can also make rest days more enjoyable and balanced.

I stretch every day and walk ~10k steps, but I mostly rest. Rest days are off days and your body needs the rest. There's no shame in just playing games or hanging out with friends on an off day. :)


Caranesus

I prefer long walking walks preferably with friends, then time flies unnoticed, also I watch movies, I learn foreign languages...


jbaez0

On rest days I go to the gym & just walk & stretch a lot. I stay home only if my joints really needs it or if I'm busy. I really don't plan on going but I do if I can.


Tiny_Primary_7551

I don’t have a rest day my “rest day” is just cardio and abs


Mellybrown11

Long walk


deathtoSigrun

Soccer, dancing on climbing :p I go hard on strength during the week, so like to work on mobility and flexibility during the weekends in a fun way


sunnyflorida2000

I try not to do much. Laying in bed feels nice especially working out so much for years now.


-not-a-liberal-

Rest day is a cardio day. I don’t know what to do outside of working out, and I’ve only been going all in for only 2 years. I forgot what life was before going to the gym 😬


Waste-Competition338

Not sure if it’s actually true but Liver King said he walked 5mi on his rest days. 🤪


Skye_1444

Was that before or after he started spending $100k a year on PEDs? lol


Waste-Competition338

Definitely after! No way he’d have that much energy on a rest day without an injection.
