How often do you guys......

take a break from working out?!

i read in a magazine somewhere that you need your break once in a while to let your body COMPLETELY rest from all the workouts you give it on a daily basis week after week after week....

i want to try this out, but i hope im not reading this wrong....

ive been working out for about 4months STRAIGHT without breaking ONCE !!!

so THIS week im not going to the gym at all, but i am still doing my daily cardio and my ab crunches, with an occasional night of the "Perfect Pushup™" here and there, but thats about it

i was wondering if this information is true? do you guys actually have breaks from working out? i read it in a an M&F Article "Too much can be bad" and it said you should take a week off..... i hope im not messing up my routine, but i have been going to the gym RELIGIOUSLY for 4months now

so... what do you guys think? am i entitled to a week off? or this applies to ppl that have been goin to the gym for years? and if so, how often do YOU guys take your breaks?!

THANKS !!!

Doing pushups during a "break" defeats the purpose of taking a break. Taking a break allows time for your muscle fibers to competely heal and be fresh for your next interval of training.

Do some low impact cardio and eat clean during your 1 week absence from the gym. You'll get that newfound motivation once your return back to the gym a week from now.

Good luck!

I'm far from an expert, but I'll take a stab at answering. I try to listen to my body, I'd say about once a month or so I take a few days off and just eat and rest. Usually just a few days does it for me.
