Increasingly, athletes & amateur fitness fans are realizing just how important recovery is to making progress, that more isn't always better, so the culture is starting to shift.

No longer is it considered admirable to push through when you're feeling mentally and physically exhausted — in contrast, the goal is listening to your body and knowing when to rest.

Recovery is essential because exercise depletes your energy stores and fluids, and the body needs time to replenish these.

It's only through recovering sufficiently that you're then able to train effectively when you are working out.

Studies prove that recovering properly leads to faster progress

There are both physiological and psychological benefits to getting ample rest around your training, and studies prove this. you can be stronger and you can be better if you take your recovery more seriously.

Exercise results in microscopic tears of the muscle fiber. The body needs time to repair, and that's how muscle and strength are built.

A 2011 study compared two groups of individuals on a calorie-controlled diet. Half slept 5.5 hours a night, the other half for 8.5.The researchers found that those who'd slept for a shorter period of time lost 55% less fat and 60% more muscle mass by the end of the fortnight than the group who slept for longer.
