To be able to reap the benefits from intense exercise, I recommend, that you must see to it that you get plenty of rest. I can't stress this enough. In fact, recovering by resting is just as important, if not more important that the actual workout itself.
During the intense physical exercise that many people perform, your muscles are subject to tiny tears. The body's reply is to adjust and mend, growing stronger and larger muscles, which of course leads to improved fat burning and a leaner body.
But this muscle-growth and improvement process won't take place if the body is not allowed the time period to do its job.
Too frequently, people haste back into the gym, as many have been inundated with the "more is better" axiom when it comes to exercising. But if we don't take enough rest and let it do its magic, the body can't help us and we will see poor results. We will not burn that fat like we want to, and we will just end up demotivated or maybe give up our efforts altogether.
If you don't get enough rest or sleep, you'll have a very hard time building the fat-burning muscles that will transform your body. have a difficult time burning fat off too! That's why we can't train too long or too often when using a sufficient intensity level.
If we give the body a strong stimulus, such as good weight training, you can't keep hammering it into the ground.
Should you do this, you'd quickly over stress your muscles and weaken your body's ability to improve from your workout. You could become so worn down in fact, that you might even get unwell this happened to me a couple of times in the past when I wasn't paying attention to getting sufficient rest and sleep.
And this repair and recover process doesn't take place in one day, it usually takes 2 days or longer, So be very certain to take between 1-3 days of rest between your properly conducted workout, or you will be endangering your chance of success to burn fat and build lean, tough, muscle.
Now that we know how fundamental rest is to burning fat and building muscle, we also better understand the key element of rest...otherwise identified as sleep.
Sleep is the final recuperation tool, and not only for healing from exercise. It's a recuperation tool from any strain you take in throughout the day.
Whether it's from family pressures, work related matters,or otherwise, enlarged strain can be eased by enough sleep. And don't think you can loose fat maximally when you're over-stressed by different matters in your day to day life. A towering stress level can close up the strength of your power to burn fat, and more.
So be certain to get sufficient sleep. What's perfect? I would propose no less than seven or more than nine hours. Actually, seven and half hours per night probably is the perfect amount!
Research proves that humans sleep in cycles of 90 minutes or so. It has been suggested that if we wake up too far after or before one of these 90 minute iterations, you will in all probability feel foggy for a good portion of the day. So try out the 5 to 90 minutes sleep cycles, or 7 and a half hours... you'll most likely wake up feeling rested and energized.
