ALTO. STOP. HALT. Pause. Time out. Catch our breath. Smell the roses.
Why does nature dictate that we pull back on activity, particularly when it comes to intense exercise?
According to Pete McCall, CSCS,** a day of rest allows our bodies to repair tissues damaged from the mechanical stresses of exercise. Specifically, rest allows time for the fibroblasts—individual cells that repair damaged tissues such as muscle proteins—to do their job and repair any tissues that need it.
So let’s stop, rest, recover – then RETURN for all the wonderful benefits exercise gives us. WF!
