Taking a day off from the gym in the middle of the week
Hey guys, I have a question. Are there any benefits to taking like a Wednesday off from the gym? Does my body need that break if I work out 5 times a week? Do you perform better after a day off? Or is it better for my body if I take 2 days off in a row (sat and sun). Thanks!

Morning workouts - help!
On the days that I have to work out in the mornings the workouts are just not the same! I don't have nearly the same amount of energy as I do in the afternoons. But I don't want to miss a day or working out simply because I can't do it after work. Any ideas of how to improve my morning work outs? Thanks!!!
