O2 Gym Tip of the Day: Rest & Recover Recovery is an important, but often neglected, factor of a successful strength-training program. The positive adaptations -- strength, power and hypertrophy -- occur when you are resting, not when you are working out. If you do not give your muscles enough recovery time, they cannot improve and may atrophy, or weaken. The National Strength and Conditioning Association recommends that beginners rest at least 48 hours between full body workouts. Advanced lifters, who work out at a higher intensity, should rest 72 hours between workouts that target the same muscle group, but they can work out other muscle groups in the interim.
