Rest Day 🥱

TAKING ACTION:

✅What is the biggest gain you see from taking rest days? Do you feel the benefits in both your mind and body? Share with us below!

It’s been a full week of Steps 👟, and I think it’s the perfect time to slow down and discuss the importance of rest days. With all of our extra movement this month, I think this is an important message to drive home.

None of it works without proper rest. Resting is as important as everything else. Here’s why ⬇️

👉Muscle repair and growth: Muscles are broken down during exercise, but they GROW during rest.

👉Central nervous system recovery: Your central nervous system coordinates your muscles, and since high-intensity workouts stress it, it needs time to rest so it can do its job.

👉Glycogen replenishment: Intense exercise depletes glycogen stores, which are the body’s primary energy reserves. Rest days, paired with proper nutrition, allow glycogen stores to replenish.

Speaking of central nervous system recovery, giving your central nervous system a break also benefits your overall mindset (and you know how I feel about mindset), since it plays a massive role in your mental attitude, emotional state, and cognitive patterns.

Again, rest days are non-negotiable. In fact, they’re a huge part of the bigger picture here. Nothing else matters without proper rest. 💯
