How much rest is needed between resistance workouts to avoid poor results?

24 hours
48 hours
36 hours
72 hours

The correct answer is: 48 hours

Rest is essential for muscle recovery and growth after resistance workouts. In order to properly rebuild muscle tissue, the body needs time to repair and replenish energy stores. Typically, a rest period of 48 hours is recommended between resistance workouts to allow the muscles enough time to recover. Choosing shorter rest periods, such as 24 or 36 hours, may not provide enough time for adequate recovery and could lead to poor results. On the other hand, a longer rest period of 72 hours may be excessive, leading to a decrease in intensity and potentially hindering progress. It is important to find a balance and listen to your body to determine the appropriate rest time needed between workouts.
