Imagine this: you're a power lifter, one of those big dudes at the Olympics that lifts very big things. You lift the big heavy thing, put it down. Crowd cheers. Do you immediately lift it again? Or do you rest for a few minutes?
You rest--if you want to be able to replenish the energy-boosting organic compounds in your muscles. So why not do the same thing in your workday?
