What To Do When You Don't Feel Like Working Out
At some point during your fitness journey you'll feel like skipping your strength practice session.
There could be tons of whys and wherefores. You may be busy for time, you may be apathetic, you may feel worn-out or aching from your last session regardless the case, you don't feel like getting down to it and going to the gym.
It's times like this when you get the chance to build your resolve, self-discipline, and "never say die" attitude.
Today is one of those days for me
My quads are still really sore from the high intensity tabata protocol I did yesterday on my rest day, plus I didn't get enough protein to help recover.
And I must of ate something bad last night because I woke up at 4am this morning throwing up...
So at this time I have two options: 1.) disregard my strength training session today or 2.) Perform the session as planned, but adjust as needed.
What am I gonna choose?
I'm going to complete my session as planned and get a feel for it as needed!
So How Can You Make Progress When You Don't Feel Like It?
When I come in the weight room today, I might notice my warm up sets are feeling extra hard. It could be the weights aren't moving as easily as I wish for.
I'll probably still do my first set at the suggested poundage, however I may have to move away slightly on the next two sets in any case.
Consistency Is The Solution
The solution is I'm going to get in there and complete my strength training session just like I had planned. Why? For the reason that I know it'll be better for me in the end.
Although I can't perform at maximum it's fine. I'm still getting a TON of other benefits just by working out.
Besides, I'm building the not giving up the habit.
What's more - you'll never continually make steady progress - you will have awesome days, not so awesome days, and downright crappy training days it's all just a part of the game.
The secret is to complete what you established and bring in the rewards for being consistent. - 17269
