4. Rest only one day at a time
Don’t get sloppy with your training schedule – if you skip the gym for a week, chances are that your metabolism will speed down. Hit the gym at least four days a week and take some time to rest in between. Sometimes, you will need to push yourself into doing a simple half-hour cardio training instead of skipping workout altogether that day. Of course, you should give your body a full week break from the gym every couple of months so it can fully recover.
