Summary

There is normally two different camps here. The first is those who don't take rest days because they think it will hinder their progress. They think they have to do something every day of the week for at least 1-2 hours or they will lose/stop progress. This couldn't be farther from the truth. This podcast will immensely help those who don't take rest days out of fear they will gain fat, lose muscle, or just be detrimental. The second group is those who do take rest days, but aren't sure what to fill them with. Let's remember what a rest day is... a day to give your body and mind a rest. And while you can still move on your rest days, it is to aid in that. I went over in depth some different recovery day tactics on my social media this past week, @ericrobertsfitness , on facebook or instagram. This podcast will go over some of the same, and almost more importantly change the relationship you have with rest days/exercise.. which I believe may be even more important. Give it a listen, if you enjoy please leave a 5 star rating/review on iTunes... it takes 5 minutes. Don't be a lazy ass. Thank you all! -E.
