What to do on days you don’t workout I Is it bad to exercise everyday

[@Kittysaver]

This is what I needed. The guilt about resting is so strong.

[@ericrobertsfitness]

I know.. but you got this

[@kjkj9847]

“What are you a dog trying to earn a treat?!” 🤣🤣🤣 I laughed a little too hard at that. Great video though. It took me a while to unlearn that taking rest days will ruin my progress.

[@melissaportillo7582]

Wow ! Thank you so much for this video. I was literally just wondering about all these questions you answered.

[@veronicabower4424]

Me, too!! I thought of the questions and was going to search his videos and it was already there before I searched. Made my day

[@memiyarns3910]

This is such great advice. I struggle with resting but had a total aha moment watching this video!

[@Planners_and_purses]

Perfect lunchtime video. Had a “BAS” while I watched lol Because of you I finally enjoy salads. Those Taylor farms salads are awesome! Thanks for all your help!

Love this video in light of our convo about “STEPPING IT UP” 🙌🏻

[@awkwardlykim9389]

Wowwww, STOP YELLING AT ME!!! This video is a sign that I need to take rest days a little more seriously. I'm just recovering from, what I'm personally calling it, a burnout. I was working out for about 5 months straight, barely 2 days off every week, pushing at least 250lbs squats, pulling 60lbs with my back and just going crazy for no apparent reason. I was exhausted and had to force myself to take a 2 week break from the gym because I was always tired, sore for days, and I had to fight myself to get to the gym some days. This was a very timely video🤧 thank you

[@ericrobertsfitness]

glad you saw it ;)

[@JustHereToHear]

Me too, ive been pushing the limits with my energy, hitting the gym even after a 9-10 hour work day, and now im just burnt out. And, not seeing as much change on the scale as i was putting effort in losing weight. Need to tone it down with workouts, and just be more active during the day.

Hi…I find your videos very helpful. Thank you. Question: is it important to lose water weight? Is there a way to do it naturally?

[@oleinkar3933]

Love ur analogy about the bank account. Thanks for another awesome video

Thank you Coach E, for responding to my email. I need to dial it down. Feeling tired and wiped out by the end of the day.

[@ericrobertsfitness]

[@ZeBiii]

Hi !! Do you have any video about calorie surplus? More info about it and how to properly start

[@iamloveparadise]

Great video Thank you so much 💪🏽💯

I love you that's it. Like seriously

[@tiggst14]

I love that you cuss, weird but I do. I cuss too and makes me feel comfortable lol and thank you for the information. I have clients that want to work out 7 days a week and its exhausting to explain this to them. Will be sending them your video.

[@ericrobertsfitness]

lets go!!

[@VickysSecretsx]

Hey Eric ! Should you lower the amount of calories you eat on a rest day ? If so by how much

[@MsBlue68]

"What are you? A dog trying to earn a treat?" 😄

[@ericrobertsfitness]

ok you are a REAL MVP for actually watching all the way thru ;)

[@Tiffany_55]

If my only form of exercise is 2.2-3 miles of brisk walking everyday, do I still need rest days of skipping those walks? Thanks!

[@ericapelayo88]

So I went from a 4 day to 5 day a week weight training schedule Monday Wednesday Friday I do lower body and just focus on compound exercises then Tuesday and Thursday upper body also focusing on compound exercises. I removed all the junk volume exercises from my workouts and they went from being 2 hrs long to know about 1 hr. Is this workout schedule sound ok or is it too much? Thanks Robert your videos have helped me so much!

[@ericrobertsfitness]

sounds awesome dude!

[@barbterrell8493]

Great video. I was doing yoga 7 days a week, and since I switched to your Metabolic strength workouts 3 days a week, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. (no pun intended! ha) I am having problems trying to get enough protein. I eat yoghurt, cheese, meat, nuts, but know I'm still falling way short. What else can I add without adding a lot of calories??

[@Bunnie333]

Cottage cheese !! Turkey meat!! Low calorie all natural protein bars, or make an extra protein shake with some fruit or coffee for the morning always works for me. Or for a night snack(if ur having a sweet tooth) I amke a fruit smoothie. Hope this helps

[@alexissalas5009]

how would i set up my workouts then? ive been going 6days a week and just doing 1hr of cardio on my “rest day” usually i do mon-chest/tricep tue-back/bicep wens-shoulders/legs twice a week. is there a better way to set this up? also love you vidoes man! theyve helped me alot.

[@ericrobertsfitness]

I have a video on this own my channel if you scroll through :)

[@bripuentes5262]

In your opinion if I weight train for 1 hr tues- fri, and on weekends I work cleaning 8 hrs a day in a huge facility, the whole time I'm on my feet walking around(haven't tracked my steps yet), and I do nothing on Mondays as a rest day, do you think that's an alright schedule? Absolutely love your videos, I check your Instagram alot and have learned so much!

[@ericrobertsfitness]

sounds like you work your ass off!! yes!

[@bripuentes5262]

@@ericrobertsfitness that means so much! Thank you!

[@weirdoking5862]

I work a three day a week manual labor job and get about 26000 steps a day at work how should I factor that into my strength training?

[@ericrobertsfitness]

oh man that's a lot haha I'd lift on your off days 3x per week probably

[@linSlay-sk2rq]

What is your stance on ruining metabolism, Should I/we be doing maintenance calorie days periodically to keep metabolism high..? If I don't will I just have to keep eating less and less and less over time?

[@cheeseburger1856]

I go to the gym 3 times a week, i also play football 3 times a week. 2x training and game in the weekend. Is this to much in a week?

[@ericrobertsfitness]

if you are an athlete and you recover properly (food, sleep, hydration) its ok man!

[@cheeseburger1856]

[@Kene05]

This used to be me I would workout 5 -6 days a week. I was so worn out and tired. And I would get aniexty if I didn't workout (WTF). I learned the end of last year to give myself grace and rest.

[@heatherstinson3348]

[@mrshatake2295]

Is it pointless for me to do strength training when I have bad insomnia? I see everywhere that sleep is super important when working out but I just can’t do that right now. I don’t want to workout and not see the fruits of my labour bcos of my insomnia

[@kaylyanet2010]

Can I do my 10,000 steps on rest days?
