]]> While exercise is a vital part of your well-being, there is such a thing as too much physical exercise. Here’s why rest days are important as well and how many you need to take.

Why You Need Rest Days

Personal Natalya Vasquez explained that rest days give your muscles time off to recover, thereby limiting strain and ultimately preventing injuries. What’s more, rest days give your muscles time to repair after workouts, thereby increasing the muscle mass you’ll ultimately gain.

How Many Rest Days to Take

This largely depends on the intensity of your workouts and how long they are. If you’re doing medium-level workouts that are fairly brief, then one rest day per week could be enough. If you’re doing lengthy, highly strenuous activities, then more may be required. Remember, the difficulty of each exercise varies according to your experience.

]]> As much as we love to get a good sweat in and challenge ourselves with strenuous workouts, sometimes our bodies really are in need of a deeper break than one rest day can provide. It can be tempting to try to push through when we’re working toward a particular goal, but in the long run, it’s more important to prioritize listening to your body’s needs, even if it means taking a little more time to reach the goals we’ve set.

Here are some signs to look out for that could indicate your body needs some rest from intense workouts (and what to do instead).

Soreness That Lasts Longer Than Usual

It’s normal to feel a bit sore for a couple of days after an intense workout, but if you find that your muscles are feeling sore or hot for longer than is typical for you, this could be a sign that your body needs a break. Try some gentle stretching or even an ice bath to help soothe tired muscles and calm inflammation.

Working Out has Suddenly Become Difficult

That is—more difficult than usual. It’s okay to push yourself a bit during workouts, but if your regular exercise routine has suddenly become much more difficult than usual, your body may be in need of a few days of rest.

Emotional Changes or Feeling Stressed

Physical exhaustion can cause imbalances with certain hormones in our bodies and leave us feeling emotionally depleted. If you’ve been working out a lot and are experiencing unusually low moods, it’s probably time to take some time off. Prioritize getting deep rest through sleep and meditation.

]]> When you have a fitness goal in mind, it’s natural to want to achieve it as quickly as possible. That could mean working daily on your fitness routines, spending hours at the gym, or just pushing your body as hard as it can go. While it’s important to keep an eye on your goal, it’s also imperative to pace yourself on your journey. 

How Much is Too Much?

If you want to boost your general health and fitness, you should aim to exercise about five days a week. But that’s not to say that you need to go all out! Not every day has to be an intense workout—your routine can last as little as 30 minutes.

Space It Out

Not every one of the five days needs to be the same workout. In fact, your body will benefit more if it isn’t. Aim for two or three days of cardio and spend the other two or three days on strength training.

Mix It Up

No time to work out five days a week? No problem! Try doing three days for 45 minutes. You can also mix strength and cardio, such as a 20-minute jog followed by 25 minutes of weight training. 

Remember to Rest

Regardless of the intensity of your workout, rest is crucial to allow your body to recover. Factor in one or two days for rest and always listen to your body.

]]> In order to cure or at least lower the symptoms of being chronically tired, it’s important to make healthy choices and create habits that will serve you well. Healthy eating, physical activity, regular sleep, they are all important in getting your life together and putting an end on that constant tiredness.

These are 3 symptoms you shouldn’t ignore (and of course, ask your doctor about it).

You Can’t Sleep

Even though you’re exhausted, you have troubles falling asleep or keep waking up during the night. This is the sign that your brain is too tired to even sleep properly.

You’re Having Troubles Focusing

If you’ve been forgetful lately or find it hard to focus on a specific task, this can be a clear sign of chronic tiredness.

Dzień dobry! Obiecuję, że wracam z regularnymi postami. Nie chce żebyście mi gdzieś pouciekali, bo wieje nudą na moim profilu 🙈. Jak nastroje? Ja nie mogę się doczekać soboty! Zamierzam spędzić ten czas w domu, porządnie wysprzątać i porobić jakieś nowe zdjęcia. Generalnie pocieszyć się swoim mieszkaniem❤. Jestem ciekawa kiedy zaczynacie ozdabiać świątecznie w swoich domach? Ja jeszcze tego klimatu nie czuje, ale może jakieś lampeczki już odkurzę🤔. • • #thesweetlifeunscripted #hyggelife #seekinspirecreate #creativityeveryday #moodytones #inspireddaily #coffeeaddicts #coffeemaker #coffeeday #coffee_time #coffeedaily #igerscoffee #coffeeinbed #booksandcoffee #visualmood #tv_neatly #tv_living #tv_pointofview #tv_stilllife #happysocks #instagood #instalove #instadaily #loveit #bookstagram #morninginbed

Your Whole Body Hurts

Headache, muscle ache, and even sore throat can all be symptoms of tiredness, especially if you feel them all at once. 

If you experience these symptoms, make sure you find some time to rest. Nothing is as important as you staying healthy and these are just the first warning signs that something serious is going on. Don’t wait for the next stage as it may be far more difficult to deal with.

]]> Going to the gym every single day can really take a toll on your body. Taking a rest between workouts is a must, even if you feel energetic every single day. Most people are convinced that they’ll achieve the best results if they exercise 7 days a week. Here are some of the reasons why you should give yourself a break.

Muscles Need Rest to Get Stronger

If you work on the same muscle group days in a row, the muscles won’t have time to recuperate and gather all the essential nutrients and energy to grow. That is why you should definitely take days off, or at least work for different groups one day after the other.

You Avoid Injuries

One of the biggest myths out there is that you’ll lose progress if you take a day off. It’s extremely important to rest between workouts in order to avoid injuries. Your muscles need proper nutrition and rest if you want them to get better and bigger. If you are always tired, the chances are you won’t be able to do your best.

Listen to The Body

If you are exhausted, your body will show signs. You can’t deal with tiredness if you don’t sleep enough and rest.
