What are the best days to work out?
The days you don't feel like it. It's on these days that not only do you get to work on your strength, fitness or fat loss goals but you get the added privilege on improving your mental muscle, self esteem and self respect.
It's these days that have the biggest impact on who you become.
The way I see it working out / health is as a whole lot more than just how you look or how many more chin ups you can do than Coach Eddie. To me it's a reflection of who you are.
Are you someone who gives up when things get tough? Or someone who gets it done?
Are you someone who does what they say they're going to do or someone who makes excuses?
Do you do what you need to do or what you feel like doing?
All these little decisions we make and actions we take on a daily basis add up to form our opinion of ourselves. Our opinion of ourselves = our self image, our confidence, our self respect which has a massive flow on effect into the rest of our lives.
You want to build self confidence? Start with planning which workouts you're going to do this week and doing them.
PS: Here's a sneaky little tip to help you on those days you don't feel like working out (like I had today). Just commit to doing the warm up, you can tell yourself if you still feel lousy you can either go home, walk a few laps of the block or just take it easy during the workout. This makes it much easier mentally to hop in the car and drive to the gym. In all my years of doing this I can you that most of the time it ends with you smashing the workout and feeling like a f***ing boss.
Make the decision that will make you proud.
