30 Day Challenge – Day 3 – Rest is key

Right okay, I’ve got to admit, I may have been somewhat overoptimistic about my challenge. Apparently you have to allow muscles to rest and recover, yeah yeah, I know this may seem fairly obvious. I did actually, honestly, think that 24 hours of rest should do the trick, but apparently you need to give it more. Exactly how long each major muscle group should be allowed to rest remains a heavily debated topic, but there seem to be some sort of theory about 24-48 hours.

Even though I certainly had ambition it might work against me in this case and, well, I’d rather try and do it somewhat properly. With this in mind I shall reduce the exercise to Monday, Wednesday and Friday leaving the remaining days as rest days. I’ll continue with the full body workout program, but after this challenge I may try something different such as exercising each major muscle group once per week instead. Will have to think about that and see what conclusion I come to. Either way, I better heed the advice I’ve been given and refrain from exercising every day.
