Now I'm not saying you shouldn't push yourself on the days you are feeling good but what I am saying is that there are days where you need to recognize that you just not feeling 100%. Those are the days that I work out with either no weights or lighter weights. Those are the days that I don't push myself as hard. Sometime's I'm just a little fatigued and once I start working out I actually start feeling really good, on those days I'll reach for the heavier weight. But there are definitely times I start the workout and I can just tell me body is not up for a super hard workout. This normally happens to me after I eat something that causes inflammation in my gut. This really slows me down and my body is trying to heal itself. I still want to get a good workout in because I'm not sick but I don't want to overtire myself either. So, on a day with a lot of inflammation I just start slower and listen to what my body is telling me.
If you are reading this learn what your body needs. Learn how your body feels. Is it just a little sore from yesterdays workout? Are you coming down with something? Do you actually need to just take a rest day? Or is it just a mental block and you really need to get up and rock out that work out. The more you listen to what your body is telling you the better you will be able to do what is best for it.
