by Larry EderThe easy days are important too. The easy days allow you to recover. Your body takes 24-72 hours to recover from tough workouts. At this time, we are giving you moderate workouts. Follow the schedule. Hydrate, eat well, and rest, sleep 8-10 hours a night and take a short nap (30-45 minutes) in the afternoon.
Lao-Tse was quoted as saying “the journey of thousand miles begins with one step.” Your body builds gradually, it adapts to stress from workouts, and needs recovery time.
