OK, a rest week isn't a bad thing!
Last week, I finally took a rest week. Now, I'm not an athlete - 50+ y/o obese female. I've been working out 4-6 days a week, fairly intensly for a year. 2 weeks ago, I felt bad - had a ton of cramps in my legs. And, my legs had ached daily for a few weeks. I was afraid to take a rest week, because I was worried I'd lose…
