Why I Started Taking Rest Days Seriously?

Ngl I used to think taking rest days meant I was being lazy 😭 I'd keep working out even when my body was clearly tired and then wonder why my progress felt so slow lately I've been trying to give myself proper recovery time and honestly I feel way better during my workout nd it's hard not to feel guilty when you miss a day but I'm starting to understand that recovery is part of the process too. How do you guys deal with rest days without feeling like you're losing progress? 💪

Rest days are literally when your body gets a chance to recover and grow

Bro I used to train 7 days a week and wondered why I was always exhausted 💀

same 😭 I still feel like I should be doing something on rest days even when I'm sore

Ngl taking recovery seriously made such a difference in my energy levels

Sometimes I just go for a walk or do some stretching on rest days

Your muscles aren't going anywhere after one day off lol

usually plan my rest days in advance so I don't feel like I'm skipping randomly

How many rest days do you usually take in a week? I've been trying to figure out what works best for me
