listen to what body is telling you
Whatever your exercise goals are, your body needs time to recover and adjust to the demanding loads. Sometimes newcomers to the world of exercise/bodybuilding/fitness will do too much too soon, and may ignore their body when it's trying to tell them to take a break.
