CrossFit Mettle and Honor – NCCOMPETE REST DAY or ACTIVE RECOVERY The goal today is to give your body what it needs — full rest or active recovery. Full Rest can involve rest, recovery, and self care but the priority is rest. Active Recovery can involve low intensity movement for about 20-30min or more. Getting out there for some play, getting your hands dirty, or learning a new skill is also a great option.Read more
