How long I should rest after sex before indulging in intense workouts? - eviltoast

Google said anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours, but for me 24 hours or even more is a must.

I tend to eat and sleep more and even take 1 day leave from work.

I was wondering whether it’s normal to rest this much or I’m just lazy. It’s not that I cannot push my body to work immediately after sex but I prefer not to force myself.

Hope it’s all normal.

    Like the other comments said, trust your body. If you felt like sex was a vigorous enough workout that you need a rest day, take a rest day but if not do do what feels best.
