These Are the Best Exercises to Do on Your Much-Deserved Rest Day

Stash your trail mix in your backpack and hit the trails. Hiking can be a great workout on rest days that can burn some serious calories, according to Gahan.

When creating a hiking interval workout, "Try to walk up hills with big steps and lunges, then briskly walk on straight paths. The change in incline and speed will create natural intervals, which will torch fat and help burn approximately 350 calories per hour," she said.

The lack of jumping and running will give your joints a little break from the weights and jump squats they're used to.
