What Happens When You Skip Workouts?
What Happens When You Skip Workouts? Let's Dive In!
Ever felt the temptation to ditch your workout? We've all been there! But here’s what you should know:
Skipping a day or two doesn’t ruin everything – but the habit might. It’s not about the rest days (they’re essential!). It’s about those times you’re too busy or just not “feeling it”.
Missing one can easily become missing many. And once you're out of the groove? It's tougher to jump back in.
After just a week? Reduced endurance. Find yourself gasping during a short run? That’s probably why!
A few weeks off? Hello, reduced strength and muscle shrinkage. This can pave the way to weight gain.
Over time, low activity could invite health risks like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some cancers.
Plus, mood swings, disrupted sleep, limited mobility? No thanks!
So, what’s the game plan when life gets in the way?
Got a tight schedule? Do some quick, intentional movement. A brisk walk, quick squats, or even a fun kitchen dance! Aim for at least 5-10 minutes.
Feeling under the weather? It’s okay to rest. Listen to your body.
On “meh” days, push through! Even if it’s just a short session. Movement sparks motivation.
Remember: Consistency over perfection. Stay moving, and never let yourself feel like you’re starting from scratch.
DO NOT GIVE UP!
If you’re struggling with your goals right now…
DO NOT GIVE UP!
Why? Because you deserve better than that.
In fact, did you know that the third Friday in January has become known as “Quitter’s Day”?
Yup, it’s true…
The third Friday in January is supposedly the day by which most people have ditched their resolutions.
But, there’s ONE powerful way that you can shut down those naysayers:
Instead of quitting, commit to ONE healthy action today. (It’s that simple.)
Need some easy ideas? Here’s a list of 15 healthy actions you can do ASAP even if you’ve already put your goals on the shelf — and all you have to do is choose ONE:
Drink a glass of water
Spend 5 minutes quietly focusing on your breath
Go for a walk
Take a multivitamin
Do some squats
Plan a healthy dinner
Put your phone away for 30 minutes
Go outside for some fresh air
Write in a journal for 5 minutes
Reach out to a friend or other supportive person
Brush your teeth
Hire a coach
Read a self-development article or watch a video
Adjust your goals
Eat an apple
Remember, do just one thing.
Then, use that teeny-tiny bit of momentum to power your next healthy thing… and your next… and your next.
"Should I be extra strict with my food intake to help me stay on track?"
Commonly Asked Question: "Should I be extra strict with my food intake to help me stay on track?"
The answer is: "NO."
Focusing on mindful eating — listening to your body’s cues and noticing when you feel truly hungry or satisfied — can help you make healthier choices in the long run.
When you eat mindfully, you can make decisions that help you feel good about yourself AND your food choices now and into the future — including choosing (or not) to have special holiday treats.
This gets you out of the old mindset of labeling foods as “good,” “bad,” “naughty,” or “nice.”
