Six days per week, I set my alarm early (4:25am on weekdays, 5:25am on Saturday) to work out. Why so early? Two reasons:
1. I need to start my workout before "life gets in the way" and throws me off track
2. I get a little joy from knowing I am working out while most of my timezone is asleep
But on Sunday, I rest. It took me a while to get right with this in my mind and some days I still struggle with it. If some is good, then isn't more better? Not always. Especially not when it come to working out. I am the type to press on when I should stand down. Working out through pain that just may be an injury. Pushing when I ought not push. So sometimes, "taking it easy" is a struggle for me.
However, I am learning that rest in the right proportion actually makes my body stronger. It's the reason we are wired for sleep every day. And now I am starting to value the day I don't work out. Often, I have this song running through my head.
Workout recap
NONE!!
