Resting Days are so nice

I sometimes wonder whether I should have more of them, to let my muscles recover more. But I am also pretty conscious of not pushing it when things hurt, so I guess it's alright. Tomorrow begins cycle 4...wow.

I have noticed my cardio capability declining a little bit. Surprisingly not as much as I thought - that's probably because I do at least 20 min of cardio with any strength workout. 1-2 interval trainings a week. I see a lot of lifters give up cardio because they think it sacrifices muscle gain, so they either don't do it or maintain a relatively low HR (120-130) where you're only burning fat. For my heart's sake, I'll give up a bit of muscle. I doubt it's much anyway.

We tossed around a football in the ocean waters yesterday, and it is so much more fun than doing it on sand!
