Episode 2871:

Emma Hogan shares insights from Dr. Jinger Gottschall on the importance of scheduled rest days and even short exercise holidays to prevent injury, boost motivation, and maintain overall well-being. While consistency is key, periods of reduced activity especially for seasoned exercisers can refresh both the body and mind, ensuring sustainable progress without burnout.

Quotes to ponder:

"A break from exercise prevents injury by allowing the working muscles to rebuild and prepare for future training."

"Chances are, their body doesn’t need a fresh new training innovation - it may well need a rest!"

"There’s a fine line between exercise that produces health benefits and exercise that can actually cause health detriments."
