I’m 56 years old and have been doing Crossfit for 3 years. I workout 5-6 days per week pretty hard but I’m concerned that, at my age, I may need more rest days. Are the recommendations you list in this article different for older athletes?

I’ve been doing this about six months and only take of Sunday and/or if I’m out of town, which has been rare this year. I think today was my first real skip day. I was just so burnt. So I googled this and see maybe I’ve been overdoing it. Thanks,

Really enjoyed your article, especially the part where you stress the importance of taking a rest day and listening to your body. The importance of allowing your body time for rest and recovery is really underrated in workout schedules. It’s a common misconception that ‘you can never have too much exercise’ and as a result, many dedicated fitness enthusiasts often burn out or are left injured from not giving their bodies the adequate time to recover.

How should I start over again? Making some WOD’s at low intensitty??

I would also say that even if you do get to the gym and feel sluggish, scale the rep scheme or the weight used for the WOD. I have to do that at least 2-3x per week (mostly because the load for certain WODs is too heavy and beyond my ability) and it makes a huge difference in performance, intensity, and recovery.
