R and R and R

RECOVER


How easy is that? One of the three major facets of my On-line 30 minute quick-fit
workout calls for you to rest. I'm not asking you to climb Everest here just to relax in ways that are constructive rather than destructive. For example, you can still party. Just don't go crazy.

R&R is just as important as the workouts themselves, especially when the workouts are this challenging. Rest is when your body grows. If you're serious about getting the most out of your workout, make it a point insert some form of relaxation into your day. In addition to the general psychological benefits you'll experience, your body will become more fertile soil for growth

Remember, lifting weights tears down muscle fibers. Only after you've completed your workouts will the affected muscle tissues rebuild. To allow that process to unfold, you must give your body adequate downtime between workouts.
