I actually did not work out yesterday. I was in the gym parking lot ready to knock out my 30th day and realized I forgot my earbuds! I don't know about anyone else, but without music I have zero motivation; so I drove home. It was meant for me to rest. This week I will have a deadload week, which means I will lighten my load and allow my body to recover. I will take off two days this week (maybe), and really rest up. Then go back to the gym and increase my warm up weight amounts. I plan in having a lightweight week each month. I found a really helpful article on a site called Sistas Of Strength (SOS). Here's the link.

Remember, no heavy days means no light days!
Today's Challenge: If you lift heavy often, take a rest day. It is essential to reaching your fitness goals. If you don't lift heavy often or at all, increase your weight amounts and decrease your reps. Any lifting is better than no lifting at all but in order to get stronger, you have to push your perceived limits! You are in control!
