[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed the single highest correlation with whether I sleep well is whether I did strength training the day before. [b]It doesn’t have to be a lot (five minutes of bodyweight leg exercises is enough to have a result) but it really makes a difference.[/b] But I’m not sure if it’s safe or effective to do this every day, because every set of guidelines I’ve read recommends taking a day off between, and even if I do core stuff one day and leg stuff the next there’s still a lot of overlap between muscle groups that should probably be allowed to rest.

Advice would be welcome! I do a lot of walking but it doesn’t seem to have the same impact on my sleep, and I just had a baby in June so I’m still in “recover my strength and stamina” mode — and really trying to improve the quality of the sleep he lets me get![/quote]

At this level you don't need a rest day. Rest are more necessary when you are really pushing yourself and lifting heavy or for long periods of time. [/quote]
