YOU DON’T NEED A REST DAY - UNBREAKABLE AF PODCAST E050

In this episode, I challenge the idea of rest days in training. I share personal anecdotes and examples of hard work to argue against the need for rest days. I dismiss the concept of overtraining and emphasizes the importance of pushing one's limits. I also criticize the judgment and negativity prevalent on social media. I conclude by encouraging listeners to focus on discipline and hard work rather than seeking excuses or shortcuts.

Takeaways

Rest days are not necessary for everyone and can be seen as an excuse to avoid hard work.

Examples of individuals who work hard every day, such as farmers and athletes, demonstrate the potential to push beyond perceived limits.

The concept of overtraining is dismissed, with an emphasis on the importance of proper recovery and monitoring training.

This is about emotional maturity and knock off the judgment and negativity towards others' training routines.
