Day 7: REST & RECOVER
This is what you call a “rest day”, in saying that, this doesn’t mean just
sit on your butt and watch television all day.
The body is built & made to move so at least get out for a nice stroll or
go take up a new activity e.g. golf, Surfing, Sailing, Bowling, Clean the
house, Gardening, Paint ball, Tennis, Table tennis etc ANYTHING that
is different, social & keeps you young and happy.
