That time comes after the workout, known as your recovery time.
When you rest, you are not being lazy.
Recovery also prevents your muscles from becoming over fatigued, while also reducing your risk of injury.
But how does Toole recover herself?
“I work with a physical therapist every single week, which is absolutely essential.
And having really good sleep hygiene is key,” she toldBustle.
Toole also employs active recoveries that keep her body busy while it repairs from harder workouts.

“On my rest and recovery days, there’s a lot of meditation.
Pilates has been fantastic to unlock areas of my body.
