Friday is a day which perfectly illustrates what we talked about energy levels being affected by lack of carbohydrates-the body’s preferred energy source.
How many of you have skipped your Friday session because you have “no energy left in the tank”. Perhaps you say to yourself that it doesn’t really matter anyway, because you have worked hard enough in the week anyway! I see this a lot.
If you manage to get a Friday session in, you will go into the weekend feeling good and much better about yourself. You will feel as if you have had a very good week, and you won’t be leaving your training Thursday until Monday, which is a who four days of training. This approach definitely won’t get you into the shape you really want to be in.
On top of all of this, when you get to the following Monday workout, you will feel that much more sluggish, and be less enthusiastic about starting your week with a bang!
Missing Friday also encourages you to start early on your weekend treats too. If you aren’t training, then you may just buy some junk food early, keen to “relieve stress” of your week with some sugary treats or alcohol bottles.
Friday for me is a “just do it” kind of day!!! Don’t think about, just do it and reap the benefits afterwards and put yourself in a great frame of mind coming into the weekend!
