Do you know what to do when you don't feel like exercising?
Sometime throughout your fitness journey you'll feel like missing out your strength training session.
There could be lots of reasons. You may be pressed for time, you may be unmotivated, you may feel tired or sore from your last session whatever the case, you don't feel like getting off your butt and going to the gym.
It's times like this when you get the opportunity to build your resolve, strength of mind, and "never say die" attitude.
Now is actually is one of those days for me...
My quads are really painful even now from the high intensity tabata protocol I did yesterday on my rest day, plus I didn't get adequate protein to help restore my health.
And I must of ate something bad last night because I puke when I woke up at 4am this morning...
So now I have two options: 1.) skip my strength training session today or 2.) Do the session as planned, but adjust as needed.
What am I going to decide on?
I'm going to do my session as planned and adjust as needed!
So How Can You Get On When You Don't Want 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 Answer
The answer is I'm going to get in there and carry out my strength training session just like I had planned. Why? Since I know it'll ultimately be the cause of my good health.
Even though I can't perform at maximum it's all right. I'm still getting a TON of other benefits just by keeping fit.
Besides, I'm building the not giving up the habit.
Besides - you'll certainly not going to make steady progress over and over again - you will have great days, not so great days, and downright crappy training days it's completely just a part of the game.
The secret is to complete what you established and bring in the rewards for being consistent. - 17268
