Have you ever found yourself coming home from work feeling exhausted after a long day, yet in two minds as to whether you should sit down and put your feet up, or take advantage of any spare time and head to the gym?
We all know that exercising is important for maintaining good health, yet did you know that getting enough rest and relaxation is equally as important?
The key lies in finding that balance between rest and relaxation getting enough rest and relaxation, without neglecting your exercising sessions.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is for your mind to convince you, that you need a rest (and possibly a snack too!) when really the tiredness you feel could be cured by a quick jog or HIIT session?
Sometimes the best cure for feeling lethargic is to get yourself up and get yourself moving!
On the flip side, pushing yourself to do too much exercise, in the pursuit of attaining specific fitness goals, will not only leave you feeling physically exhausted. It can also increase your risk of injury, and potentially even hinder your progress.
