Don’t wait until Monday to get back on plan. Start today!

So…it is Thursday and if you’ve missed your workouts for the week up until this point it would be easy to just consider tomorrow a write-off as well with the intention of starting fresh on Monday.

But just as we don’t subscribe to the idea of black-and-white thinking when it comes to dieting, we don’t encourage it when it comes to training either.

If you’ve not done anything this week, it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything. Go in tomorrow and do what you’re supposed to do. Even if it isn’t ideal, you’ll still be doing the best you’re able given the circumstances you’re in.

And you shouldn’t try to “make up” for any missed workouts with extra exercise any more than you should make up for dietary deviations by starving yourself after the fact. Exercise should be treated as a privilege not a punishment.

Just get back in there, do what you’re supposed to do, and get out. After you go, you’ll be glad you went.
