WHEN SHOULD I TAKE A REST DAY?
Rest days are for the weak, hey? WRONG!
Here are common signs & symptoms of over training and lack of recovery:
- Injuries
- Lack of appetite
- Difficulty sleeping
- Poor physical performance during WODs
- Just plain old feeling beat
A rule of thumb is 2 rest days for every 7-8 days. Be willing to take an extra rest day if you are really sore and fatigued. If in doubt, TALK TO YOUR COACHES! Work smarter, not harder.
