My recommended FE-Life workout today is essentially an “active rest” recipe given the intensity of the preceding day’s routines.

The Workout
Ensure that your muscles are warm; I recommend doing the Moji warm-up.
Go for a four mile walk over semi-undulating terrain. Try to maintain a sixteen to seventeen-minute mile pace. When you finish, do twenty push-ups and twenty crunches.
Modification Options
There is really no need to modify this routine since it is an active rest workout. The push-ups and crunches could be skipped if you feel particularly fatigued, but they should not be too hard to accomplish after having warmed your body over the course of a four-mile walk.
Note
I post a new workout each day of the week. Clearly, “rest days” are prudent in anyone’s workout schedule. My advice is to select four or five of the workouts I recommend in a week, and do them over four or five days—one workout per day; rest on the other days. I always list the target muscles each routine calls upon. It would be wise to choose workouts that address the entire body over a given week.
