How do you incorporate rest days into your fitness routine? Have you noticed any performance improvements when you allow your body enough time to recover between intense workouts?

Rest days are crucial for fitness progress because they allow muscles to recover and rebuild, reducing the risk of injury and preventing burnout. They help replenish energy stores, improve performance, and ensure long-term progress in strength and endurance.

This is relative to the person, there are people who do not need their body to rest, but for people who need it, it is vital for your muscles to rest, rebuild themselves and be able to continue with the routine increasing your muscle mass, because it is assumed that when you do strength exercise you are tearing your muscles so that during rest they rebuild and in a stronger way depending on what you eat, that is why they say that what you eat is very important

Because without adequate rest, progress can stall, and even lead to decreased performance and increased risk of burnout.
