Most of you had a long break over Easter, at least Friday morning until Tuesday, some even longer.
Whist it’s great to have a break, there are sometimes some unintended consequences. If you normally consistently with your exercise and you have a few days off, then a few things usually happen I have observed over the years.
Your back feels much weaker, and starts to play up. More time sitting around DOES NOT work, the more you do it you can be sure more pain WILL come.
Your energy goes down. The less you do, the less you WANT to do. It’s a vicious circle, when you have less energy, you will look at the world different. Everything becomes “too much hassle” and the idea of not starting back becomes an option sneaking into your brain.
Your biggest muscle that is deepest under threat is YOUR MIND. Your body hasn’t been going so your mind hits some fog. The clarity that you get during your workout has disappeared. Your mind will make you or break you.
Give your mind plenty of positive food, decide that TODAY is the time to get stuck back into it, the best positive food is always your workout.
Shifting all that iron/dumbbells will make you or break you, and it has a 100% per cent success record for anyone who shows up 3 times a week for months, it’s a tried and tested unbelievable strategy that not only keeps your body strong, but fires up your mind full of possibility again.
Don’t let the break play tricks with your mind, remember you are always only ONE workout from feeling so much better.
