4. Light Cross Training: Incorporate yoga, pilates, or active recovery into your routine this week. 

5. Daily Foot Massage: Use your arch massager for 3 minutes a day to aid recovery and reduce foot fatigue.

Each day we will give you task(s) to complete. On days where "Strength" is listed, you will perform the exercise program below.
