You've gotta take a break!

I am the type that feels guilty when I miss a day in the gym. I can be a bit OCD about working out, once I'm on a role. Although it's great to be committed to making your fitness goals happen, you have to allow time for recovery. Especially if you are just beginning to work out regularly. Your body has to have some down time to restore itself from the stress  of your workouts. There really is no reason to feel bad or guilty. In fact, a rest day should be written into your fitness plan. Use rest days to focus on family, friends, meal planning, oh and....rest.  :-) Your body will thank you by making your next workout a bit easier to get through. 

Today's challenge: Plan your workout schedule for the next 7 days and include at least 1 day to rest.
