Is it january 4th already...? We can hear the groans...and the soft patter of little feet trying to climb back up on their resolution plan...
Relax.
Don't beat yourself up.
Get up...dust yourself off...look at your goal sheet...and hop back on. it's that easy.
So you think missing one workout is going to be a good enough reason to give up? You think one extra slice of pizza...or a candy bar gives you permission to call it a day and go back to your old ways? YOu think that, just because you didn't work out like the "Biggest Loser" you aren't worthy of experiencing success?
We don't buy it. Life happens. All the time. And to ALL of us.
Here is something to think about...there are basically four ways that you can come into a workout...
You can feel great...and have a great workout.
You can feel great...and not have a great workout.
You can feel not-so-great...and have a great workout.
and
You can feel not-so-great...and not have a great workout.
But you can still move forward. Listen to your body. Tell it what you want. make it listen to you. Make it work. Then let it recover.
even if you don't feel all that great when you go to hit the workout, you can still give your body something it can learn from...you may not set any personal records or shatter any illusions, but you can still work within your unique "recovery window"...it's just a matter of knowing what your heat level is, at that moment, and after.
That's what the Chile Pepper Approach is all about. We'll be introducing you to more in the next post....stay tuned...and have fun with your workouts!
