We’ve all been there before; We made it through the long morning, breezed through lunch, and as the day comes to an end we find a excuse not to go to the gym. "I'll skip tonight and work twice as hard tomorrow!" Follow that approach and you’ll forget what your gym looks like. The following three excuses (s-cuses) are the only ones I personally allow. The 3 S-Cuses: Sick, Sore & Sleepy. Of the three, I can give excuses for two of them as reasons why I can still go.Sick: Well this is the one that no matter what, you need to accept it, stay home and rest! Overdoing it when you’re sick only leads to more headaches down the line.
Sore: Well if your muscles are sore from a previous workout then you won't be able to push yourself to the levels you need to reach to help build muscle. So you say you can take today off, huh? Well if your chest hurts, what about your legs? This is where I feel you can work around this problem. There are five major areas to workout. If one is sore, most likely one of the other four are not. Problem fixed!
Sleepy: This one affects probably every person in the world at some point during the day. Imagine an eight hour work day followed by rushing to catch the subway and then a train to sit down for forty-five minutes before your stop. Chances are you’re drifting into a light sleep cycle. Feel like quitting now do you? Well actually going to the gym can help increase your blood pressure, get your metabolism going and help wake you up! After the first set, you’ll have your energy back and you’ll be able to finish your workout.
Remember these guidelines the next time you feel like skipping on the gym…
