During photosynthesis, light energy is used to produce ATP molecules which are then used to construct sugar molecules from carbon dioxide and hydrogen obtained from water. Chloroplasts have two outer membranes and several stacks of small disc-shaped membranes called thylakoids (also spelled thylacoids) inside.
Scheduling a week off will give your body time to do this and will also help you return to your workout stronger and ready to challenge your body once again. Many endurance athletes end their season with a week off and many weightlifters will take a week off from their program every four to eight weeks.
And that rule is: take at least 1 full day off per week from all forms of exercise. That means, AT THE VERY MOST, you should be exercising 6 times per week total (and again, this includes weight training, cardio, and any other form of exercise). Iâm setting this rule because I am pretty confident that there is no one reading this that needs to be or would benefit from working out 7 days a week.
