Muscles and diamonds have more in common than you might think. 💎💪
Both are formed under pressure but it’s what happens after the pressure that makes them strong.
When you exercise, your muscles experience tiny tears and stress. It’s during rest and recovery, not the workout itself, that they rebuild, grow and become stronger.
Just like a diamond needs time to cool and crystallize after intense heat, your body needs time to repair and adapt. Without rest, the result is strain, not strength.
Taking time to recover prevents overtraining, injury and burnout and ensures you get the most benefit from the effort you're putting in. Giving your body and mind time to recharge helps build a healthy, balanced lifestyle that lasts.
