    I don't generally have rest days, that's not how I manage my recovery.

    But I will take them in cases of general fatigue and sometimes of course life just gets in the way.

    If you feel like you need a rest day, then you need a rest day.
    It is important to listen to your body. Everyone is different. What you need will be different from what I need.

    For me: I target doing some amount of activity everyday. But the intensity changes day to day. I do 3-4 days a week focused on resistance. 2-3 days a week focused on cardio. 1-2 days a week focused on recovery — stretching, yoga, Pilates, foam rolling, etc.
    I also have dogs and go for an hour walk almost everyday.
    About once a month I am a 100% couch potato and don’t do anything all day. These days are not scheduled; they just happen because I feel wiped out and just need it.

    Yep, sometimes one day, sometimes two. I used to work out every day. I started suffering burnout from doing that, though, so I decided to give myself a break sometimes.
