Progress doesn’t happen during the workout, it happens in recovery. Next time you schedule a rest day, instead of a day off, call it a performance enhancer. Check out the article by Angie Ferguson.

On Sundays, I take a break from jogging, lifting weights, and water exercise, lolling about in my pj’s until it’s really not fair to Kumba and we go for our morning constitutional. Kumba is very good at lolling.

His “baby” is Kumba’s constant companion, serves multiple purposes including mouth-carrying comfort trophy and nap pillow!

Kumba can drop off into a nap within what seems like moments and almost immediately begins to dream, twitching and yipping in his sleep. Sometimes, he just burbles like a water cooler. Evening naps are accompanied by snoring

To the point of me thinking I should strap my CPAP onto his muzzle!

Turns out, according to the article I quoted above, that Kumba’s figured out that prioritizing sleep is a major component of healthy living.

Physical gains are strongly tied to sleep quality. During deep sleep, growth hormone is released, aiding muscle repair. Aim for 7–9 hours of uninterrupted rest

So, Do As Kumba Does: enjoy guilt-free rest today. #doasKumbadoes #afamilyforKumba #allianceoftherapydogs #lrrof #completecaninetraining
