How do you balance exercise and rest?

I have morning And evening routine that includes exercise, and I always have two evening a week when I take 2hours for me

To balance exercise and rest, I let my body tell me what I need. If I’m super tired and sore from a vigorous workout, I rest the next day or two or three to let my muscles build and rejuvenate. When I feel no muscle soreness, it’s time to exercise again to get the blood flowing.

I take one rest day in between th exercise days. It is very important to regenerate and recoup from the physical extertion

I try to exercise 2 times a day. 30 minutes to an hour every day. Except for Saturday and Sunday, those are my recovery days. The recovery days give me the good rest to start going again :)

Restorative yoga! When I am tired but I need to exercise I do restorative yoga. There are no standing moves, only deep stretching

A difficult one 😂 I know rest is important but I like working out too much... I do force myself not to exercice more than 5 days in a row.

Depending on how my body feels, and how intense my workout is as well as the results, if i go slow i can make it balance easier but usually takes longer to see good results, if i up the intesity, i need longer rest and of course harder exercises

For starters, exercise and rest occur at different times of the day. Physical exercises normally takes place in the mornings. And once you get in tune with your exercise schedule it becomes a routine. Because of work schedule resting may not be possible during the day all the time. So the best is to sleep early. So sleeping time is used as resting periods. Also because I understand that resting is good and allows ones body to recover, any little periods I get, I rest and I believe it cumulative and that gives me balance I always seek

I try to do graded exercise 4-5 times per week, starting off small and only increasing intensity by 10% each week if it no longer feels challenging. Some days might be spent stretching using a foam roller for muscle recovery instead of exercise. Be kind to yourself and make time for enjoyable, relaxing activities as well :)

Plan and schedule everything. I follow a timer for each set of exercise and even rest.This will ensure the balance is there for both.
