“Recovery Strategies: How To Know When To Take a Day off (And When To Keep Going)”

CrossFit programs a three-days-on, one-day-off, two-days-on workout schedule. We know individual schedules vary with some working out Monday through Friday, some simply aiming for three days in the gym, and others working out seven days a week.

When it comes to rest days, it’s important to note that if you regularly experience improvements in the gym, your health is good, and your injuries are minimal and manageable, your recovery-to-training ratio is probably just right. However, if you aren’t seeing progress in the gym, you have chronic or acute injuries that don’t seem to go away, and you’re constantly feeling tired, you may need more recovery days.
