Extra Recovery Day

Taking an extra day off gym today. I decided this yesterday while doing my cardio.


My legs for the past two weeks have been somewhat in a permanant state of soreness. Coupling this with the fact that I've done measurably poorer in my past two cardio efforts, I think it's time for a bit longer rest than usual. I'm contemplating reducing the amount of sets on my legs days from 12 to 10 each, too.


Nutrition-wise, I was thinking of reducing the amount of calories today to compensate for the two lost workouts, but I decided not to as my aim is recovery and I believe that decreasing my calories at the same time would oppose that goal.
