    Ignore anyone advising you to not push yourself in the name of over training.

    Listen to anyone telling you to rest 1-2x per week while pushing yourself the other 5-6.

    Proceed to achieve goals. Profit.

    The only days I have rested since starting my MFP journey were due to injury. I am happy to hear we should rest too, but missing th burn! I wasnt always unfit, I was a ballet dancer as a teen, and a fitness fanatic too ... but lost my way .... but that is a whole different story ..... But now im back into it, I crave that burn and adrenaline each day, im sad to not have it, but happy to know im doing the right thing :)

    Well - rest days don't have to be inactive - you just don't work out intensely. So if you feel you should do something you could go for a walk or light jog.....or take the bike out without pushing yourself or something like that.
