That 20-40 second rest isn't doing what you think

Say it with me..

🗣Sweat DOES NOT mean you're burning fat

You're losing water weight, and that will all be gained back when you drink any liquid

2-3 minutes only sounds long because you're used to doing more than 3 exercises in a row

Slow down, while focusing on lifting heavier

Do you hear my breathing?

You need WAAY more than 40seconds for your body to kalm down after the weerrkkk you just put her through

P.s go drink some water

Lessons I’ve Learned In My 40s
Honestly… nobody warned me how good it would feel over here. Your 40s don’t always look like a glow-up or a comeback. Sometimes, they’re quieter than that. It looks like saying no without explaining. Protecting your peace like it’s a full-time job. Letting God lead instead of forcing doors
