taking a day off is good-Dano Jones

Why is important to take a day off of the water

Taking a day off can make or break your keeners session. Taking a day to just chill and hang out. This can give your body an opportunity to rest and regain a lot of sleep, strength, and dehydration. Having a day of rest can get you a lot farther than you would normally by going kayaking everyday. Me personally did not take a rest day this past weekend. This wasn’t the worst idea that I have had all keener session. (I’m not going to say the worst decision I’ve had because my mother may or may not be reading this. Love you mom. I’m having a great time.) this caused me to take a day off the water during instructional time. This time off the water wasn’t as bad as you would think it would be. I was not the only one to take a day off of the water yesterday. 2 of my other fellow keeners took days off the water as well. Anna, AKA “mom”, drove us to the lunch site on the main channel of the Ottawa River. We hung out for a bit, chopped onions, cooked some burgers and all that Jazz. But as of the time I am writing this blog, my body feels way better and I can now go kayaking again! Yay!! Always remember, taking days off can be a great thing. The terms, “no pain, no gain” and “no days off”, are complete rubbish. If something doesn’t feel right, take
