Ever wonder what happens if you miss a workout or two?
I have a good news-bad news answer for you …
First of all, missing a couple of scheduled workouts isn’t a huge deal… at least not physically.
The problem is that it can get you into a cycle that can turn INTO a very big deal.
(And I’m not talking about planned rest days here – those are an important part of the process.)
I’m talking about the workouts you miss because your schedule gets crazy or you just aren’t in the mood.
When you miss THOSE workouts, it gets easier and easier to skip future workouts, until you fall off the bandwagon altogether.
And here’s what happens:
So, what do you do instead of skipping workouts?
1) If you legit can’t squeeze in your workout because something important came up, do some intentional movement anyway.
Go for a walk, crank out some squats and push-ups, have a dance party in the kitchen, flow through some sun salutations… basically get in some intentional movement, even if it’s just for 5-10 minutes.
2) If you don’t feel well, listen to your body and take the rest you need.
3) But on days you don’t "feel like it" — keep the promises you make to yourself. These are the days you probably need it the most. Just show up and go for a few minutes.
Move yourself to get motivated — because the motivation doesn’t always show up first.
This will reinforce your commitment to yourself and your goals, and it’ll help you build more self-confidence and bulletproof habits.
It’ll also protect you from that awful feeling that you’re back to square one when you start working out again.
Does this help you take a step closer to your goals?
