Whether it’s the start of a new year or a much-needed pause in any season, taking a rest day to reset + restore is essential for both our physical and mental well-being.
“After a busy holiday season, I always like to step back, reassess, and refresh my routine for the new year,” says Dance + Sculpt pro, Leslie C. “It’s amazing how just one day of self-care helps me feel recentered.” Below, she shares how she takes a day to reset + restore any time she needs to feel refreshed!
Morning
To set the tone for a good rest day, I like to meditate first thing after I wake up. While I may not meditate every day, whenever I do it’s amazing the difference I feel in my mind and my body. My dad is really into meditation, so I’ve been hearing about it my whole life.
While I get ready for a workout, I’ll mix Liquid I.V.’s Energy Multiplier into a big glass of water to get hydrated and ready to sweat. Made with clean, premium ingredients, one packet of Liquid I.V. has as much caffeine as 1-2 cups of coffee, and keeps me energized through even the hardest workout.
Exercise is therapeutic for me. I love to start my day with a run or a Dance + Sculpt class on obé. Even though I’m a people person, I love to be by myself too, so taking time for a solo fitness session helps me connect to myself and feel centered.
Want inspiration? Try this week-long reset, inspired by Liquid I.V.’s Hydration Multipliers, with a refreshing blend of 6 cardio, strength, and restorative yoga classes.
Afternoon
I recently moved to a new area of New York City, so I love spending time exploring and getting to know my new neighborhood. I always like to spend time checking some errands off of my to-do list, like going to the grocery store and stocking up on healthy foods and drinks.
Between a full time job and teaching at obé, my days get super busy and I don’t often have time to cook, so I make sure to have some grab-and-go meals on hand, as well as Liquid I.V. sticks, which keep me energized and hydrated during the craziest of days.
Evening
Relaxing with friends is also so important to me on a rest day. Especially after a productive day, I love seeing friends for dinner and sharing our challenges and wins over a few drinks—it helps me feel so supported and calm!
When I do have a couple glasses of wine with dinner, I will make sure to take a Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier that evening before going to bed—I know it will leave me ready and refreshed in the morning to hit the ground running (literally!).
