Here’s the million dollar question of the day: Do you exercise CrossFit Maturity? Or do you simply just steam through a WOD with reckless abandon, performing mediocre quality reps until a coach catches you and calls you out on it?
Here’s an example of CrossFit Maturity. Let’s say you’re quite proficient at full plank pushups. However, you’re in the middle of a WOD and you’re feeling fatigued. With each rep, you’re getting less and less of the way down, and you’re no longer able to get your chest to the floor. Would you scale automatically to use your knees and complete the rest of your pushup sets from here because your form has broken down? If not, you should. This would be a fabulous example of what we’re going to call CrossFit Maturity, wherein you know when it’s necessary for you to scale without someone telling you to do so.
Wouldn’t you like to say that you strive for excellence and push yourself to get better at all things CrossFit, but not at the expense of good form? We’d love for you to be able to say that, too! Part of maturity is remembering to leave your ego at home. So what if you have to scale down a bit? Let it go. Scaling down of your own volition means that you’re playing by the rules, staying safe in your form, and performing at your true and present ability during each possible moment.

There are multiple types of rest with workouts and you should include all of these in your exercise regimen. Here are the basics:
Rest between sets - Allow yourself time between repetitions to restore some strength, catch your breath, or replace some lost fluids. Between-set rest is always short term. Consider it a necessary "pick-me-up" during a workout.
Rest between exercise days - Fitness professionals recommend 3-4 days of 45-60 minute exercise per week. It makes perfect sense to incorporate days of rest alternating with days of exercise. This plan tends to prevent painful injuries to the muscles, soreness, and an over-tired feeling.
Active rest - Active rest involves performing a less strenuous activity alternating with your main workout. Incorporate some stretching on these "off" days, add some yoga, or a leisurely walk. Tone that workout down to allow muscle recovery time. Light activity will still stimulate blood flow and increase your heart rate. All of these benefits will be readily apparent during your regular workout routine.
Sleep - A good night's rest is paramount to the success of an exercise routine. Give yourself 8 hours of rest each night. If you're going to the great effort of exercising to improve your health, then you must consider adequate nighttime sleep just as important.
Replace what you've lost - Replace your fluids with water and energy drinks. Eat a proper diet including lean proteins. Both hydration and proper diet help repair those microscopic muscle tears in addition to giving you the energy you need to keep up with daily activities.
