Everyone Needs a Day Off
One thing that I found out when trying to lose weight, is that you can get burned out really easily. I was working out 7 days a week because I felt if I took a day off I was going to gain weight or not lose enough for the week. Let, me tell you, everyone needs at least one day off.
After about a month of working out straight, I was so tired and probably weighed no less than I would have if I worked out 5 days a week. I had read in a couple of different books and articles that you shouldn’t workout every day as your body needs a break. You can actually do more damage to your body by working out everyday.
Sometimes when you get so obsessed with losing weight, it’s hard to take a day off. Like me, you may get nervous that you will gain weight or will not lose enough, but speaking from personal experience. Everyone needs a day off!
So, give your body a break and take the day off!
