How long is the appropriate interval between exercises?

In today's society where both appearance and body shape are valued, we must pay more attention to the small details in our daily lives. If we have time, we should exercise more and maintain a good figure that others will envy. A good figure can not only make others envy you, but also boost your self-confidence and make you more charming in your daily life. Blindly exercising without drinking is also good. Exercise also requires a certain amount of time intervals to be more effective.

Rest is necessary when doing muscle training, but the time should not be too long. Muscle training consumes a lot of nutrients. After exercise, after proper rest, the nutrients in the muscles are quickly replenished, and the amount replenished will be more than what is consumed. This phenomenon is called "super recovery" in physiology. "Super recovery" allows muscles to obtain more nutrients, making them more developed with more training. If muscles are not given sufficient time to replenish nutrients, they will not grow stronger than before. Some studies have shown that this rest period is calculated based on the time it takes for the muscles to regain their last exercise capacity, which generally takes 2-3 days.

After 2-3 days, if there is no exercise stimulation, the exercise effects of the previous period will gradually fade away. This is because muscles are also composed of various proteins, and proteins, the substances that make up muscle, are in a dynamic state of constant consumption and replenishment. If you replenish more, your muscles will grow; if you consume more, your muscles will decline.

If you do not exercise in time, there will be a lack of factors that stimulate muscle growth, and on the other hand, the substances that make up the muscles are constantly being consumed. People who exercise will naturally find that "the exercise effect is not obvious", "the muscles are smaller than before", "the arms are weak", "the muscles are not as hard as before", etc. This is why you can’t be a one-off when exercising.

If we need to interrupt our exercise due to special circumstances, we should not worry about wasting our time. Exercise always works, so don’t get discouraged or lose heart. When resuming exercise, don't be in a hurry, take it slow and step by step. You must continue to persevere, believe in yourself, and master the intervals between exercises.
