Ep 231- Rest Days Aren't Lazy Days

Level Up With Sharelle and Dani

In this rewind episode, we’re diving into something that often gets overlooked but plays a huge role in your progress: rest.

Whether you’re an athlete, someone deep into their training routine, or just trying to stay consistent, rest isn’t something you earn after working hard. It’s a crucial part of the process. When we ignore the signals our body gives us and keep pushing just to stay on track, it often leads to burnout, fatigue, or the feeling of going backwards.

This chat is your reminder that if your body is asking for rest, it's not being lazy. It's being smart. There’s a difference between active recovery and truly switching off, and both have value. The key is learning to tune in and listen to what your body actually needs, rather than what your plan says or what you feel pressured to do.

If today is your rest day, let it be one. Take the break, recharge properly, and trust that real progress comes from both the work and the recovery.
