Starting day 24 this morning. I felt like crap all last night. Really bad allergies. Didnt sleep good. I’ve worked out every day for the past 3 weeks, sometimes twice a day. Maybe I just ran down my body. Anyway, in taking it easy today. Going to work from home and not workout. 4 weeks ago, I would have used this day to drink. NOT TODAY. hopefully, the rest will recover my body and I can get back to the workouts tomorrow.

Rest days are just as important as workout days, otherwise you will run your body into the ground and throw what could have been gains away. Hope ya feel better man.

Absolutely agree with @Dan531, I’ve been doing the same as you kind of lately. If I’m really feeling I need to have a workout, I’ll just do a quick mile jog and then walk the rest of the way to 30 minutes. I started hitting my dumbbells and was gonna do the full workout, but my body was like hell to the no it wasn’t even gonna let me if I tried lol.

Oh hell yeah you need a rest!! Recovery is equally as important. Some great ideas for recovery …restorative yoga session on YouTube, a stretching session, or a walk.

Oh absolutely I agree, I deff stretch after my work outs. I won’t before tho bc it loosens everything up, I like to be tense during a work out
