This has mainly been due to some well-earned rest.
Now it has come to my attention that many exercisers get a case of the guilt’s when they don’t exercise for a day or two.
Well you shouldn’t feel bad, unless you have decided not to go for slack reasons or because you’re making excuses for yourself.
In fact sometimes your body will tell you if you’re needing a break. If you have over worked yourself and you are eating well and haven’t increased your workload too significantly you may find that you haven’t given your body enough time to rest and rebuild before you start again.
For body builders this down time will normally equal growth rather than nothing. Which will surprise most. For those looking to lose weight, you should find that as long as you keep on top of the diet side of things, your metabolism will balance the rest, while YOU rest.
If you don’t rest and you don’t have the drive to push through it… you will hit a slump in your routine and your interest in exercise will begin to wane.
Don’t let this happen!
Take a break, 3, 4 or a whole week of days and then get back into it. I have spoken of this before, but you mustn’t give up!! Use that time off to get your mind ready to attack again, check your workout plan, look at how you can best utilise your time for exercise coming up.
A break isn’t a bad thing, see it as a necessity for your body to catch up to the efforts you have been putting in.
