We all know those people - the workout junkies who are at the gym every day, but is it good for your body to go hard every day of the week?  Experts say, no.

An extreme workout too often can have the reverse effect. I think it’s great that more and more people are striving to be healthier, leaner and fit, but it you don’t give your body a rest and allow it to recover you could be hurting yourself. When we workout our muscles we are actually creating tiny tears in the fiber.  Our body needs time to repair those tears.  If you’re sore and can hardly move it means you haven’t recovered yet. Screw the guilt, take a rest and let your body heal (give it a day). You’ll have a better workout when you’re rested and recovered, see better results and meet your goals faster.  We aren’t built to crush it every day!
