Day off-complete rest, cardio session, or somewhere in between?!?!

[roastbeef1]

okay, so I am taking a day off.  Any suggestions as to what a day of should entail?   Do you guys suggest doing some light cardio, stretching, or just kicking back and relaxing.  I train 5 days a week, and while I do not devote a day to cardio right now, I take relatively short breaks inbetween sets, roughly 30-45 secs or so, and I can feel my heart rate up at or near the same as when I do occasionally jog or hit the bike.  I will gladly hit the gym up for some cardio if need be(enjoy the routine of the gym as much as anything else), but if you guys suggest just taken it easy on a day off, I am certainly up for that too.

Just relax.

If you do sports, it should be on a playstation.

After all, it's an OFF day.

DK is right."Rome wasn't built in a day"

Depends what you wanna achieve.

Myself I only got 1 day a week that is complete rest, otherwise I do sports or work cardio, sometimes twice a day.

This is pretty common.

yes sure you do.

[Bluto]

yes sure you do.

Yes, because thats what you do when you like me train martial arts, you might run in the morning then have class at night, or if you compete you might hit both cardio and weight lifting and class and compete on the weekends. This isnt uncommon.

Only bodybuilders feel they need to rest all the time because they hit shoulders with a couple of sets...

Might wanna check out how real athletes train in numerous sports and you'll find that the 3-4 days a week bodybuilding program aint shit.

Share your split, workouts, routines, everything. I'm  curious, not trying to be a dick.

Rest sounds good if you are training 5 days a week and not worried about trying to drop body fat in a hurry.
