Day 253: A Well-Earned Rest Day!

G'day,

Today is a day of rest from working out and blogging, so therefore today's post will be quite short. I've had a brutal schedule the last few days so this rest day was well-earned!

Why is rest such an integral part of a full-blooded physique transformation? Well, taking a break from your regular training and nutrition plan is very important for a few reasons.

First and foremost it gives your body a rest and allows you to physically re-charge your batteries.

Secondly, it also gives you a mental break from the day-to-day grind which is just as important as the physical rest.

Thirdly, a rest from training also prevents over-training which can lead to injuries and allows for little "niggles" or "twinges" to recover.

Finally the rest you take can also co-coincide with a "reward meal" like ice cream, pizza, beer...whatever you want as long as you don't go overboard!

Well, time for me to get some sleep...

Peace,
AJ

P.S. A rest day from pictures as well.
