Here are some scenarios when you should consider hanging up your sneakers and giving your body a little R & R. In addition to scheduled rest days, there are other times when it may be best to sit it out. So knowing your own body and it’s limits is essential to determining the amount of work and rest days you need each week. This number will vary based on certain factors like your fitness level, age and type of exercise and intensity of your workouts. One study found that it took 72 hours of rest - or 3 days - between strength training sessions for full muscle recovery, while research from the ACE Scientific Advisory Panel says that a recovery period could be anywhere from two days up to a week depending on the type of exercise. Just how many rest days we need each week is not a one-size-fits-all model.
