Yesterday evening I was getting cranky. I wanted to sleep when I got back from work but didn't get the chance and I wasn't really in the mood to workout. I was trying everything I could to psyche myself up for a workout but it wasn't happening.
So I decided to sleep for 10 minutes and then get up and get my cardio workout done. Great plan except for one thing - I ended up sleeping for an hour! I wasn't too happy with that either but I got 10 minutes after that on the foam roller (ingenious piece of equipment for core exercises and getting knots out of your muscles) and adjusted my diet accordingly. After dinner I took a walk with my wife.
What I am trying to get at here is my body definitely needed the rest and I didn't realize it. The sleep, the calorie control, the 10 minutes with the foam roller and the walk more than made up for me staying fit for that day. It wasn't the hardcore exercise but I did have the components of a fitness lifestyle coming into play at least somewhere.
Learning to listen to your body is vital in the role of health and fitness. Get with the fitness lifestyle and see how things start to work to reach your fitness goals.
