Los Gatos Fitness Trainers on Why Downtime Might Be the Key to Progress

Our Los Gatos personal fitness trainers frequently hear from clients that they want to find a better way to “get it all done.”

They’re doing all the right things…

  • Working out
  • Sticking to their meal plans
  • Being consistent

But they still feel burnt out

If you’re over 40 and trying to do all the things, you might be able to relate. 

You see…The problem wasn’t routine—it’s the fact that there is no margin.

Most people don’t feel drained because they’re doing too little.

They feel drained because they’re doing too much—without space to reset.

Our Los Gatos personal trainers want you to think of your day like a book.

If the words fill every inch of the page, it’s overwhelming.

But when there’s white space—everything is clear, focused, and easy to read.

Your routine works the same way.

If every minute is packed with work, workouts, meal prep, errands, and endless to-dos—you’re sprinting from one thing to the next with no time to breathe.

And when there’s no margin, burnout isn’t a matter of if—it’s a matter of when.

So what’s the fix? Our Los Gatos personal fitness trainers want you to try the following:

  • Create breathing room. Give yourself enough buffer between tasks instead of rushing from one thing to the next.
  • Stop “optimizing” every second. More isn’t always better. Downtime is just as important as action.
  • Make space for real recovery. Scrolling your phone isn’t rest! Movement, fresh air, deep breathing—that’s rest.
  • Drop the non-essential. If your routine stresses you out or spreads you too thin, something has to go.

So here’s our challenge for you this week: Where do you need more margin?

What’s one thing you’re ready to let go of to create more space? 

Make it an amazing day,
