Why does my resting heart rate increase the more I work out?

The more I work out, the higher my resting heart rate. Yet, on cheat days, rest days and weeks when I take time off from exercising, it reduces. Isn’t this the opposite of how it should work?

Increased resting HR on active days may indicate fatigue. When you take a rest day the fatigue drops and resting HR, too.
