Active rest! Starting tomorrow, we'll be adding mobilization target areas for the day along with a WOD. You should be working on mobilization daily!

An excellent book on mobilization is Kelly Starret's Becoming a Supple Leopard. Using his methodology, you'll be presented with areas to work on each day!

If you do not own the book (though I highly suggest you do, and no I am not a paid spokesman for the book), you can find examples of mobilization exercises at his blog, http://www.mobilitywod.com/.
