The Daniel Plan
Time for Rest
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Isaiah 40:28-29 (NIV)
As essential as fitness is to your overall health, one of the worst things you can do to your body is to exercise too much with no rest. One of the best things you can do, especially if you are challenging yourself on a regular basis, is to take a break. Your body will thank you, and you will come back even more excited and ready to take your fitness to another level.
—Exercise Physiologist Sean Foy
