Today is a scheduled rest/recovery day, but don’t worry! We are still open, of course, and running on a normal class schedule, but you’ll have the option of doing either yesterday or tomorrow’s programming (which can be found in the comments section of today and every Rest Day’s post). We recently explained why we program Rest Days twice a week and how you can get the most of of them.

After graduating, Ken coached for eight years at Capital Gymnastics in Northern Virginia where he coached regional and national champions.
