2 day rest period????

zodiac89 Posts: 2 Joined: 2008/05/05	2008/05/06, 01:38 PM now forgive me if im being ignorant but i dont see the point of a rest period. that just seems like a waste of time. i understand the concept of a rest period but should u just completely blow off the day? or should you do something like a short cardio or quick light workout? plz hlp. -------------- coup de grace boom boom bam! free hand

There is no rule set in stone that you must "veg out for the rest day.
