Instead of writing something that is regurgitated, I'm going to tell you to read this entry by CrossFit Impulse. Effective and exactly as I would've stated it.I tell some of you to mandatory rest because I don't ever see you NOT here. Rest is where you grow. Rest is how you get better. Don't under estimate the power of rest. It's critical in your fitness journey to do this and it should be as important as your workouts. Allow the body to heal -- it WILL NOT get worse if you rest.-Tyler
