Don’t Skip Your Friday and Monday Workouts Because………..

From personal experience and from what I have seen in clients and others, it is easy to lose your workout focus. Here is one pointer for you: Don’t skip Friday and Monday workouts! These are days that are easy to skip because we’re thinking about the weekend on Fridays and getting over the weekend on Mondays. Add in the days that will probably be skipped on Saturday and Sunday, and you have not worked out for 4 days! Sometimes, this turns into weeks, months and years. One good way to prevent this is to NEVER skip workouts on both Friday and Monday, and try not to go more than two days without working out. If you must skip a workout, some good substitutes are pick-up basketball/football games, mowing the lawn/yardwork, household cleaning, walking the dog, walking to the store, shopping/walking at the mall, dancing and swimming. STAY ACTIVE!

    Workouts are good for a variety of reasons, of course, but I love the last part about being realistic and seeing that even if you are active in any way (not just the regular workouts) you are still doing well. Things are busy, so that is a very realistic look at things. But still, nothing beats that great pumped feeling. Have not had this for awhile. I think my arm is better so I will try my strength training today. Thanks Mark.

    Thanks Mark. You are so right about my Monday and Friday workout skipping. Bad habit…I will correct that!

    Um Mark,

    You know it’s Friday and I’m standing here on the treadmill and I haven’t exactly turned it on… Ok, it’s on now ;)

    Thank you,
