Yes, I Should Workout Today

I workout at least five to six days a week but there are days I just don't feel like exercising. My reason varies from being tired or just feeling that I need to rest my body. As long as I'm not sick, my personal rule is to go no more than a day without exercise.

On the days I don't feel like working out, I push myself anyway and feel great after I finish. Surprisingly, when I push myself, I do more than I thought I had the energy for. It helps to do a different workout than I would normally.

For instance, I do intervals in my home gym or go to my local gym to take a cycling or Zumba classes as a normal workout. To make things different, I'll do Step aerobics, Tae Bo, or Wii Just Dance or Sports at home. I play a mean Wii tennis with a Serena Williams attitude. Mixing up the exercise keeps me entertained and challenges my body to adjust to something new instead of what it's used to through muscle memory.

As long as I don't go more than a day without exercising and push myself when I don't fee like working out, I feel that I'm doing a good job meeting my weekly workout goals. What motivates you to exercise? Here's to your health!
