Don't burn that candle from both ends!

Eat, sleep, train - repeat!

You want results?

You gotta work for them, right?

Well, yes AND no. 

Here is the deal;

Need to train hard to get results, need energy to train, need rest to get energy (plus nutrition) need to train hard to get results and there is the loop. 

Some people ONLY train hard and struggle with the whole REST thing. You feel bad when you miss a day of training or you don't know if one day is enough or three is too many. 

Listen to your body and build your rest days around events or times where you can really rest, recover and relax. 

Sometimes you will need one day, other times you might require a whole week.  It won't undo all of your hard work. In fact it will most likely enchance your gains and it will get you ready for your next session.

So for me, a week of workouts and early mornings will be recovered upon over the two days of the weekend. Relaxing, catching up with friends and eating healthy to regain my strength, ready for another week of hard training!
