Rest Periods

💪 Rest between sets is crucial for performance… but let’s be honest—are you actually recovering properly, or just deep in the scroll hole?

📱 The 60-second rest you planned often turns into checking your phone just for a quick look.

⏳ What actually happens: 5 minutes later, you’re watching a random video about penguins learning to surf.

Pro tips:

⏰ Set a timer on your watch or phone and save the scrolling for after your workout.

⏰How much rest to take? As a general rule of thumb for sets that take you up to 60 seconds to do, rest for 60 seconds. For sets that take you more than 60 seconds to complete, rest for 90 seconds.

⏰ Actually rest during your rest period. This is not a time to sneak in some more exercise!
