Belize and Rest

BCCF!!

7 Days in Belize, great time. Ate good, drank a lot, had great company. Broke a couple golf carts, swam with sharks, sting rays , and a lot of fish. The wind blew almost all the time, which I think was a blessing in disguise, with out it it would of been a little hot.
I worked out the first three days, and on the 3rd while doing sprints my back just tighten up, and started having neck pain and a headache. I took the remaining days off from working out. I wish I would of taken all 7 days off. With the type of workouts we do , I truly believe you need rest. Not just a day off here and there, but sometimes you need 2 to 3 days off. Every so often you need a week off. We push our bodies to the red line often. You must take care of your body. Specially with little injuries, I am the worst at that. If you do not rest the injury will not get better. Your muscles will not recover and grow. So the bottom line is listen to your body. Enjoy your vacation and its ok not to workout more then 2 days in a row.
