Weekly Workouts

I’m having a bit of a late start on this Monday. The temperatures finally cooled down so I woke up to a house that was 65 degrees and a comforter that was the best cuddler ever. And it is foggy AF here so it’s difficult to know what time it is. I’m going to say it’s 5:45 like it normally is when I wake up instead of 7:20. Lying to yourself is always healthy.

Speaking of healthy, last week was a different kind of healthy week. Instead of working out 5 days in a week and cooking all my meals, I was traveling. And instead of finding a gym to workout at in Lake Tahoe, I simply decided to take some time off. I rarely take a large chunk of time off from the gym, but the body definitely needs that sometimes. So that’s what I did. I rested, I ate out, I had some dessert, and I didn’t worry once about not being in the gym. Because I know I will get back to it today now that I’m back in Denver. It’s so important to remember that if you’re working out regularly week after week, month after month, year after year…it’s ok to take some time off. And I know that’s hard for some people to do. But it’s healthy to give your body a break!

That doesn’t mean I’ll do the same next week while I’m traveling again. Next week I’m traveling to Charleston and I plan to work out every day that I’m there since I just took a break this past week. It’s all about balance! But don’t forget that rest is a good thing! It lets your body heal, it lets your muscle rebuild, and it even gives your mind a break. We are always taught that more is better, but never told that rest and relaxation are just as vital. So if you are working out regularly and have been for a long time, look at your schedule and plan a few rest days in a row. Your body is going to be quite pleased with you!
