Could you use a break?
Since I’ve been working out since I was 11 and joined the gym when I was 14, I take a sabbatical each year to rest my body and recover.
5 Signs You Need A Break From The Gym
Plateau: My gains are consistently slower.
Burnout: I start to experience a lack of enjoyment in my workouts.
Workout Switch-up: I start desiring to switch up my workouts too often.
Lack of fun: It’s not as fun, and I don’t feel refreshed when I work out.
Physical Exhaustion: My body is frequently tired – even after workouts.
