Taking a week off??

[bigtex]

Whats up bros. I just finished the 13 week program of P90X 2 weeks ago. Last week I did other cardio like running outside, SB league games, etc. I decided this week to completely take a week off of any programs. On Monday I am gonna start the P90X-Insanity Mixed workout. My question is, was that a good move? I think that I was just trying to "Shock my body". I also ate whatever I wanted this week. Not overboard, but whatever (ice cream, burgers, chips, even a few beers). What do you guys think? Anyone done this before?

Yes. Every couple of months I'll take 4 or 5 days off. Recovery is just as important as your workout and sometimes it is a great idea to take a couple of extra days off.

Agreed. It's good to give your body rest and recovery time. That, however, doesn't mean doing absolutely nothing. Go for a walk, a light jog ... do something to keep moving. Nothing too strenuous, though.

Not many people will stay sane keeping up with vigorous workout schedules and not taking significant time off here and there. Every couple of months or so I will take an entire week off from weight training. I usually come back stronger and refreshed.

Every 10-12 weeks I take a week off.

if you don't satisfy your cravings every now and then what's the point of living?
