So after receiving loads of feedback (thank you very much for your suggestions!), I decided to take a week off. I was first afraid of losing the strength I've gained from exercising, but decided that I wouldn't know unless I try. All I've been doing are yoga and stretching FB videos. I'm five days in and I already feel stronger! To test it out, I did some diamond push ups on the ground (Which I NEVER HAVE DONE on the ground. I usually do them on the wall since my upper body strength is pretty weak). It's weird, I thought I would lose strength, but I'm actually getting stronger during this rest period. In reality, (after doing some research) the muscles are healing even more to become stronger.
Soooo very glad that I took your guys advice and just wanted to say thank you!
Week Long Rest?? [UPDATE]
