You Don’t Have to Earn Rest to Get Results

Growing up Hollywood taught us that rest is a reward. We had to completely destroy our bodies (and our brains) in order to earn rest. That if you skipped a workout, you have to "make up for it." That if you took two days off, you should double your workouts. Or worse..that you needed to “earn” food.

The truth?

Your body doesn't get stronger during the workout. It gets stronger when it recovers from it. Training creates the stimulus. Recovery is where the adaptation happens.

If you're constantly pushing without giving your body time to rebuild, you may be limiting your progress.
