At some point during your fitness journey you'll feel like skipping your strength practice session.
There could be many ins and outs. You may be pushed for time, you may be lazy, you may feel fatigued or burning from your last session no matter what the case is, you don't feel like getting your head down 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.
In fact today is one of those times 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 gonna choose?
I'm going to do my session as planned and adjust as needed!
So How Can You Get Somewhere When You Don't Feel Like It?
The minute I enter the weight room today, I might find my warm up sets are feeling extra hard. Possibly the weights aren't moving as easily as I want to.
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 if I can't perform at maximum it's ok. I'm still getting a TON of other benefits just by exercising.
What's more, I'm building the not refraining from 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 solution is to finish off with what you began and earn the rewards for being consistent. - 16752
