TIP OF THE DAY: When you’re not mentally “in the game” during your workout, how do you decipher whether to throw in the towel or push through?! Well, I found myself in this position today; I had a terrible headache and a crowded gym wasn’t helping the situation. I will only stop a workout if I plan on returning later, or if I feel as though I am actually hurting my overall health. When trying to push through a workout try these tips: 1) switch to a smaller muscle group (ie: biceps, triceps, etc. as larger muscle groups require greater mental focus) 2) ditch the weights and hit some cardio – this tends to help with that “feel better” outlook 3) shorten the workout – if you planned staying for another 30 minutes, cut the time in half and hopefully this will help motivate you to push through! Feel free to leave your tips on how you push through a workout when you’ve lost focus in the comment section!

I pushed through my back & bicep workout with the “shortening” technique and then hit cardio – quite the muscular mess today 😉
