Should You Take a Break From Exercise?
If you are regularly training with weights or doing interval training (as you should for maximum health benefits and fat loss), consider taking off a week for recovery every three months.
For example, if you are currently doing resistance training and interval training three days per week, you could do only one normal workout during your recovery week. You should stay active every day, but for the rest of that week, you’d engage in low-intensity activities only, such as walking or bodyweight exercises.
Taking a week off will give your muscles and joints a rest, and help avoid overuse injuries. So schedule a week off before your body schedules one for you.
