6 Pack 6 Week 8 and Rules For Restoration
Our 6 Pack 6 Contest has four more weeks left. This is no time to give up or stop the momentum. These last few weeks will set in stone the healthy habits we have been hard at work establishing in our daily routine. So how does the Restoration week from Bootcamp fit in with the program? How can I still maintain my healthy habits if I have a week off from training?
Your answer is in the question itself! It is so important to give your body an extended period of time to fully recover after three months of intense training. That is why we have built in a rest week. This is not is rest week from daily healthy habits, from nutritious eating, and quality time stretching and helping those muscles to recover. Stay the course this next week. Don’t lose sight of the goal. It is healthy habits formed to help us build or maintain a healthy body.
So back to the contest and how this week fits in with tallying points.
The Weekly Six activities are not effected by the restoration week: planning meals, preparing meals, reading the newsletter, trying a new food, sharing progress with others, and reaching for a personal record. Your personal record might be to score a perfect tally count on eating protein and veggies at each meal, or not eating starchy carbs after lunch instead of hitting a fitness goal.
The Daily Six are effected in the area of training and two meals. During the restoration week and only the restoration week you are to substitute your resistance training with any of the following, professional massage(See Amy at Chichester Massage), foam rolling, rolling on a tennis or lacrosse ball, stretching, or taking a 30 minute walk. Change up these activities so don’t walk each day but stretch one day, roll the next, walk the next etc…
For two of your meals during the week plan to allow yourself a treat meal. This is not a pig out session or an excuse to hit the buffet line but normal portions of a meal that doesn’t fit into your normal nutrition plan. Show these meals with a ‘T’ on your score sheet instead of a check mark.
So how can you maintain healthy habits if you have a week off of training? Focus even more on the other areas of training: nutrition and mindset both help your body with the recovery process. Come back to training the first week of April feeling refreshed, ready to attack each training session.
Have a great week!
