I woke up today desperately wishing I hadn’t. I’m sure you know the feeling – everything hurts, and it feels like it takes all the strength in the world to walk those 5 steps or so into the bathroom and start your day.
All day, I had a voice inside my head telling me, “You’re tired. You’re overdoing it. You can’t keep this up. Take it easy today.” Later, the voice chimed, “Skip your workout.”
While training clients – “Skip your workout today.”
During meals – “Skip your workout today.”
So what did I do? I took Stephan Kesting’s advice and worked out anyway. I proceeded to lift a little bit more than I did last time – it went up surprisingly easily.
Do yourself a favor. Ignore the voice. If you’re hurt or sick, then you get a pass.

Eugene, it never fails. When I hear that voice and actually make myself do the workout, I always hit some kind of PR in that workout. Still, each time I hear it I want to listen to it. You’re right – listen if you are hurt/sick but GO FOR IT otherwise!
Sarah,
Always works for me. Thanks!
