The Sabbatical Challenge

It’s very common in this era of fitness culture to be all go, go, go! But it is very important to, once and while, take it easy. Because, as much as we are told this from alpha male influencers online, your body is not made to go 100% 24/7; it’s time to recover. Allow this challenge to be a breathing point, a break from failure, and a chance to come back stronger. I want you to continue your gym routine, but I want you to half the weight, or even more! Prioritise the movement over the weight and take some comfort in waking up the next day not as sore as usual. It may be hard to do, especially when you are doing it in the moment when you know you n can go heavier. But trust me, you will not lose strength; you will come back more vicious. Try it for a week, or even more if you feel you need it. Listen to your body, not others.
