Believe it or not the rest or recovery from exercise is as
important as the training stimulus. This allows the body to
adapt to the workouts/stress you have been subjecting
it to and become more fit.  Too much training without proper rest will lead to
Overtraining or Staleness.  Such signs or symptoms of overtraining
could be fatigue, lethargy, insomnia, loss of concentration, performance decrement,
injury or illness.

The best thing to do is listen to your body. If you are getting some of these
signs or you all of a sudden are having difficulty getting motivated then you
need to change up what you are doing, decrease the volume or intensity of
your workouts, do something different or take a day or two off to re-energize your batteries.

Remember you should look forward to working out and feel energized from
it. If not it is time for a break.

With that being said I hope you all enjoy Spring Break in some way.
