#684 – Why, When, and How to Take A Day Off

Are you worn out from training or your daily life? Today, we contend that you're probably not overtrained, but you're more likely under-recovered. We'll take a dive into the elements of real recovery and talk about how important it is to find that true energy that you know is inside you. We look at the purpose of days off and how you should utilize them. We talk about recovery workouts and how important it is to treat them with respect. We all make big planning lists for our long weekend workouts, but are we crushing our energy on the daily by not giving shorter ones respect? It's an interesting topic and one that's focused on keeping you on a good roll, looking forward to training, and helping you recognize you're digging a hole before you're already in one.
