[quote=Anonymous]So, rest days have always been something I’ve had a problem instilling into my life, unless I am closely following a training program that “prescribes” a rest day, and even then I really have a hard time with it.

I *know* intellectual.y that rest days will make me faster/stronger/less likely to be injured, but on those days, I really feel like a lump, more tired and irritable (which I know is kind of the reason you need a rest day). I’m also pretty metrics driven and I hate seeing blanks in my log books, or “less than” in my logs. Now that I have an Apple Watch, I feel like I constantly have the Move Goal and Move streak hanging over my head.

I’m just curious to how everyone approaches rest days in a healthy manner? I feel like I get really stuck into “doing more” and have trouble slowing down. I really enjoy fitness, and now, coming back into it after a long break, I love the momentum and motivation I have. That being said, I don’t want to break my body down too much as I’m amping things up more.

Would love some discussion on this, because I know it’s important. [/quote]
