How Long Should You Rest Between Exercises?

Home » Essential Oils » How Long Should You Rest Between Exercises?

Did you know that rest can actually improve your physical performance? Dr. Axe has worked with many Olympic level athletes, and they would all agree that rest is just as important as exercise. Resting is when your muscles grow and recover. During a weight training exercise, the general rule of thumb is you need 48 hours for that muscle to recover. You should take a full day off of that muscle group after working it to fatigue. This also works for the cardiovascular system. You do not want to run at a race-pace every day or you will wear your body out. You will need to give you body time to recover to increase you performance. This is also known as “tapering”. When you have a big race coming up, you want to build up your volume of energy leading up to the race, so you would taper your workouts. In general, Dr. Axe would recommend taking off 1-2 days completely off of exercise during the week. Additionally, getting 8 hours of sleep every night is also essential to performing at your highest level.

Wellness/Recovery

Overall wellness involves mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health and is the result of deliberate effort. We see wellness an approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as well as recovering from injury, disorders and diseases.

Wellness is all about proactively taking care of yourself. It’s what you eat, who you surround yourself with, your mindset and attitude, plus how you behave in your life and work.

Because our minds, bodies and spirits are connected, we believe in treating the person as a whole.  We know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities.  We take a holistic approach to our encounters with each individual.   Our human potential and resilience is amazing and we use different approaches depending on your preferences.  To begin your journey  Click Here.
