Oftentimes I can get a bit obsessive about working out when starting an exercise program, and forget the importance of rest! Especially when beginning any kind of exercise program, it is imperative that we take time to let our bodies rest and heal. When doing any kind of resistance exercise, you want to let your body heal at least 48 hours before working the same muscle group. For instance, if you work your biceps and triceps on Monday, you should wait until Wednesday to work them again. This gives ample time for your body to rebuild itself.
Since rest is extremely important, I am going to take Sundays off (from working out and the Blog) as a "Sabbath" day. Not only does this allow my body to recooperate and recover, but it is also part of my spiritual health. I hope that each of you gets a chance to have a rest/Sabbath day! On a side note, one website that I really enjoy looking at (that really aids in my spiritual health) is
Sacred Space
Enjoy your day off :) Talk to you Monday!
