We explore why this belief comes from both motivation and anxiety, and how it can quietly work against recovery, performance, and long-term results.We discuss:• The difference between daily movement and structured training• Where the “no days off” mindset comes from• Why more training isn’t always better for results• How training every day can become counterproductive• The role of recovery in strength, progress, and adaptation• The psychological side of rest days• Why rest days can improve both fitness and life outside the gym• What questions you should ask instead of “should I train every day?”Whether you feel pressure to never miss a workout or you’re trying to figure out what a productive, sustainable training routine actually looks like, this episode will help you rethink what consistency really means and how to apply it.00:00 Intro02:29 What Counts As A “Workout”?
