Rest Day

Today is Rest Day...

Some people just don't understand the importance of resting in between workouts. They push, push and push, and this can actually have the opposite effects of what you intend to achieve. It will be harder to build muscle, and burn fat if you're constantly over exhausting your body.

Let me just tell you now that it's extremely important for your body to rest, rebuild, and repair muscle damage. Resting will also give you more energy for your next workout!

You should be resting 2-3 days a week for moderate intensity, 3-4 for high intensity, and 1-2 days per week for low intensity workouts.
