Rest days have really helped a ton mentally actually. I used to never be consistent with any sort of workouts I tried. Because I tried to do them daily and then would just soon get tired of doing it and stop altogether. But now my goal is 1-2 days between workouts. I’ve been able to be fairly consistent since March of this year…excluding unusual things like holidays and illness. I’ve never been this consistent for this long and I think the rest days are really what helped make the distance. Instead of dreading it every single day, I can mentally prepare in advance for when I have to go versus when I can just chillax and veg on the couch.
Try to hit the gym at least 3 times a
dayweek. Daily if you can, even if it just means a light “spa” day.Three times a day, or, if you can muster it, once a day!
Lol, oops. 3 times a week
Rest days are important! Depending on what you’re doing of course but ya need to rest
I overheard someone saying that rest days can be even more important than gym days because that’s when the body recovers.
My body does a lot of recovering!
