But, I'm not doing the program, so what do I know?
You are exactly right....and its why I'm on the fence. It comes right before the stretch day and honestly, to me, feels like two days off in a row. While it is kind of nice to have two easy days back to back, I kind of feel like I'm not doing enough.*
*I put on muscle fairly easy and lose weight VERY hard. I'm the only one I know who trained for and ran a full marathon and put on 5 pounds in the process!!!!
Currently I'm adding in my own cardio on the side by doing spin/row type classes (when I have time...which lately, knock on wood, is a bit).
