180. Why You Need Rest or Active Recovery Days

Making Shift Happen

Rest or active recovery days are when your body gets a chance to recover from all of the effort you are putting into your training. These are the days when you actually get stronger and come back even more recovered and ready to slay it!💪🔥

They not only give you a chance to physically recover, but they also allow you to mentally recover as well, while preventing burnout in your training.

Give this episode a listen to see why you need to include a rest or active recovery day regularly in your training every week or so.🗓️
