R and R


If you're an exercise nut, you might think "time off" is bad for you. Not so. This article extols the virtues of taking a regular rest from your routine. The amount of time depends on your regimen, and also your own body and what it's accustomed to. If you overtrain, you risk the release of a hormone called cortisol, which actually can lead to more abdominal fat.
The key thing is to listen to your body. It knows.
