Sometimes training doesn’t feel great. There are days when I don’t feel as strong, and others when I feel like I could take over the world.
After years of moving, being active and working in the fitness industry, I’ve learnt to listen to my body. Some days we’ll be able to work harder than others. It’s about knowing and understanding what our bodies need at the time. Do we need to train hard? Do we need more rest? Do we need to fuel better?
I think sometimes we feel like we have to completely shatter ourselves during a workout for it to feel worthwhile, and I’ve definitely been guilty of that too. Sometimes that need to push harder can even come from things we’re dealing with outside of the gym.
Because training isn’t always just about the physical side of things.
How many of us actually train as much for our mental health as we do for our physical health?
