Sufficient rest time is crucial in order to reach your goals
Welcome to week six of our eight-week fitness challenge. We are well over the halfway point. If you have got this far you should congratulate yourself.
This week we will be discussing post-workout recovery and the importance of it for your body.
Is recovery really that important?
It’s easy to get carried away with training when you are in the zone, especially if you are very focused on getting results. However, allowing your body time to rest and recover is crucial in order for you to reach your desired goals, particularly when strength training.
Correct rest time is important no matter what sport your participate in and not taking this rest time can lead to the body being easily injured, which may leave you not being able to train.
What is recovery?
No matter how fit you are and no matter what type of training you have a passion for, be it running, cycling, swimming, weight training or anything else, your body will need to recover.
