Calm down Lou!When should you not exercise? The answer seems pretty obvious and I'm sure you're thinking "If you're feeling ill or are injured."
Correct! But, should that be the only instance? I would have to say no.
I'd like to add another time you should forgo exercising and it isn't because of any physical debilitation.
What kind of mood are you in? Angry? Sad? Frantic? Negative feelings in general? Then either calm your mind or skip the workout and deal with the current state you're in.
How come? If you don't then you're bringing those emotions to your training session. And honestly, how attentive are we when a strong feeling is bothering us? Hardly at all. The emotion is too distracting and we're never quite at 100% capacity.
Likewise if a particular emotion is constantly experienced and brought to your workout, then you'll be associating it with your training sessions. It may be subtle, but it's there.
You don't want exercise to be a downer, but instead a good experience. Lift with a calm mind that's at peace.
Make exercise a positive part of your well-being.
