How do I incorporate rest days into my training schedule

Sure! Here are four different ways you can think about incorporating rest days into your training schedule:

**Listen to Your Body**: Pay attention to how you feel. If you're super sore or tired, that’s a sign you might need a rest day. Maybe plan one every 4-5 days of training, but adjust based on how you’re feeling.

**Schedule It In**: Treat rest days like any other workout. If you know you usually train Monday through Friday, make Saturday a rest day. Having it on the calendar can help you stick to it.

**Active Recovery**: Instead of a full rest day, consider doing some light activities like walking, yoga, or stretching. It keeps you moving without putting too much strain on your body.
