To me that means that my rest day with cardio is when I do extra cardio and some stretching and yoga-style exercises on top of the normal "cykle to and from work - walk the dog" routine. On complete rest I just do what I normally do - walk the dog, ride my bike to the store, that kind of thing. If you do too much your bpody will get back at you and you will either get ill, bored, or see no change. I still see results. -------------- ----------------------------------- Getting there... -----------------------------------
