On off days?

Curious, on the off days from Famine through Feast can one do some free hand exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, bent-over twists, etc.?

Would you advise this or against this?

Against it. You want to avoid any eccentric (negatives) and those movements incorporate a healthy amount...

What does everyone else do on the days they aren't in the gym?

I for one feel bored and unproductive. I mean besides from the whole house keeping, work thing.

during Famine I did slow cardio once, I also went out drinking and bowling another night.

I was DRAINED of energy after the 3rd day on famine, I had no motivation to train past that point.

Are you giving it 100% for the prescribed plan? If you are, don't feel bad about not being in the gym.

long distance low intensity cardio should do the trick
