Workout During Recovery? Good idea or bad idea? I say, “Fantastic idea.”

All I know is this guy kept pushing play. You should too.

This weekend, I had some fun family business to take care of, and as such my workouts got all jumbled up. For starters, my weekly schedule was such that I had to switch up Plyometrics (Day 58) and Kenpo [Continue...]
