The Value of Rest

After yesterday’s workout, playing basketball, and hill sprinting with my son, I am certainly feeling the effect.
So today I’ll take some rest and recovery time. Anyone who is into fitness knows the hidden value of recovery—it’s the time we get stronger. As important as the workout is, recovery is equally if not more so, because that’s when our body rebuilds itself. Without rest, we can burn out or get injured.
Take a self-assessment. Where in your life do you feel depleted or worn down? Recognizing when we need rest is key. As with anything else in life, developing a habit of getting essential rest takes discipline.
