Description: WHY REST / RECOVERY IS IMPORTANT!

Rest and recovery are crucial for optimal performance and progress in your fitness journey. Here's why:

1. **Muscle Repair and Growth:** When you work out, you create micro-tears in your muscle fibers. Rest allows your body to repair and rebuild these fibers, leading to muscle growth and strength gains.

2. **Prevents Overtraining:** Overtraining can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and even injury. Rest days give your body a chance to recover and prevent burnout.

3. **Hormonal Balance:** Adequate rest helps maintain hormonal balance, including cortisol (stress hormone) levels, which can impact muscle growth and fat loss.

4. **Enhanced Performance:** Proper rest improves cognitive function, reaction time, and overall energy levels, allowing you to perform better during workouts.

5. **Injury Prevention:** Rest allows your body to heal from any minor injuries or strains, reducing the risk of more serious injuries in the future.

6. **Mental Well-being:** Rest is essential for mental rejuvenation and overall well-being. It reduces stress, improves mood, and promotes better sleep, all of which are crucial for overall health and fitness.

Remember, rest doesn't mean being sedentary all day. It can include active recovery activities like light stretching, yoga, or leisurely walks. Striking the right balance between training and rest is key to long-term progress and overall health💪🏽😎

Loooove the overall messaging and info about habit stacking. I think it'd be helpful to discuss layering in that new routine within a full working / school schedule too. :)
