Rest Days???

I haven't ever taken a rest day . I need the exercise in my day to feel like I have accomplished something and feel good about myself. I do it for me , for stress management and sleep. That said today I feel like I cannot manage even a yoga workout I feel like my whole body is failing me. What gives?? advice?

You need a rest day. Every time you exercise you are tearing up your body. You need to give it a day once a week to heal and repair. If stopping exercise once a week sounds scary to you, try light walking on that day.

Oh and maybe take a look at your protein content. I know the more protein I get the easy it is for my body to heal-I'm less sore the next day. I have also found if I haven't eaten enough carbs that day I have a hard time with exercise. CORRECTION: looked through your diary and it actually looked pretty good as far as macros are concerned. Maybe you need to be eating a little more to support all of the exercise you are doing.

you should be incorporating SOME rest every week. Even a lighter workout, walking instead of strenuous activity, or yoga is preferable to overworking yourself. you NEED to rest today though!
