rest day
Scheduled training pause
A rest day is a day off from work, training, or regular activity.
In fitness contexts, it's a scheduled break allowing muscles to recover: I take a rest day after heavy lifting.
In religious contexts, it's a day reserved for worship and abstaining from labor—the Sabbath.
Even elite athletes need rest days to prevent burnout.
