In-between sets

justind123 Posts: 25 Joined: 2007/10/27	2008/02/08, 07:29 AM I'd like to think I can post here, although I need to update my photo. You see, I've been working out for years, but I can never find what's right to do in-between sets. I've sat around like a bump on a log, walked around and keep in a low activity zone, skipped the rest period all-together and did a different exercise, did cardio, and you name it.' I'm very curious to hear your alls opinion on what the best thing to do is during your in-between sets periods.
