But I don't feel as good as I should. To hear the other people talking, rest days should be this holy time when everything is sunny and fun. I have a headache right now. I haven't gotten one ever since I started waking up at normal times. Not only that, but I swear, I slept enough today.
It is absolutely necessary. If you're working out too much without getting enough rest, your body will start producing cortisol. Generally, depending on the intensity it is recommended to have 1-2 days of rest between workout.
It is rarely as you described to be fun. Rest days are usually forced and suck. Though I would take some ibuprofen and some high electrolyte water for the headache. A hot shower or bath can also help, especially if you are taking cold showers normally.
I'll try it with the shower. I think I have some aspirin lying around somewhere in my room. Thank you for your advice!
Of course. It'll get easier and rest days will soon become fun but it will take some time.
For how long per day do you work out?
2-3 hours, give or take a bit.
So there is one thing I have been doing right. Thank you for the answer!
Just make sure the exercises you do are solid. To quote a jacked guy, "quality > quantity." Good luck with your journey.So there is one thing I have been doing right. Thank you for the answer!
