Rest and Recovery Time!

Rest and recovery time from training hard is just as valuable to your fitness progress as healthy, clean eating and training itself is. Rest gives your muscles and body the time to grow and repair from the hard training you're doing on a regular basis. Without enough given rest, sleep and recovery time your muscles will not repair and therefore never grow or become what they could be if allowed the proper rest and recovery time. In my training I will train 3-4 days on to one day of rest and recovery time. This works for me because my training days are pretty grueling and hardcore on my on days, so my muscles are not only ready for the rest, they need it to recover and grow to be able to train hard another 3-4 days. Every body is different in what works for them in their training, but I do feel training hard tearing your muscles up more than 4 days in a row is not smart or beneficial to your muscles, growth and recovery to be able to preform at your very best. Fit those much needed rest and recovery days in during your workout week, feed your muscles good, clean food and kickass on those training days and you will see the results in your body!
