Galatians 3:3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Only Christians understand Paul. Because Christians have come to Christ and received Rest.
It all hinges on this point.
And God doesn't tell us about our body needing rest from our labours one day a week. The 10 Commandments COMMAND a day of rest on the seventh day. This was a shadow of what was to come and what we would receive in Christ.
If it were so important for the body to rest on Saturdays why wasn't Adam commanded to do so?
Because you don't have to tell anybody when they need physical rest. The body tells the person when they need physical rest. Kind of a no-brainer. Like being commanded to breathe.

When God was finished creating the heavens and earth, the living creatures on it, people and everything else, he rested on the seventh day. This is where the Sabbath came in. It is essentially a day of rest. God is God so he does not need to rest at all, but we as human beings need rest at times to prevent burn out. There are people in the world who are constantly rushing about and not hardly stopping to relax. This is not healthy but neither is the opposite extreme where one sits around and does nothing much of the time. Balance is key.
Someone said here that Jesus is our Sabbath rest and this also is true. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
