Rest
Rest is crucial to developing elite fitness. Your body needs sleep and rest days. Feel free to come in on your day off and cheer others on, but your body, mind and spirit need breaks from our intense workouts.
Sleep makes a huge difference as well. We tend to get too few hours, then chug energy drinks to make up for it. They are NOT the same as getting 7-1/2 to 8 hours of sleep per night. Getting adequate rest will improve your performance. Fortunately, many Mount Olympians report sleeping better once they start working out regularly.
We recommend recording your sleep as well as your workouts and food. Inability to sleep and sleeping too much can be indicators of larger problems. Make rest an integral part of your training regimen.
