10things to ask yourself before you skip a workout

QUOTE

Deciding to exercise sometime in the future is easy. In fact, you often make that decision when you’re rested, energetic and motivated. What happens when the time comes to actually do it? You may hear a little voice in your head saying, “I’m so tired and I’d much rather sleep in than exercise. Um, maybe I could do it later.”
Skipping your workout may be the right decision, especially if you’re sick or injured. Other times, there isn’t a good reason, but that voice in your head just won’t stop. Before you skip your workout, there are a few questions to ask yourself that may help you make the right choice.

1. Will I regret this decision?
Maybe it would feel good to stay in bed and sleep or go home from work without the hassle of going to the gym, but how will you feel later? Instant gratification can be rewarding, but that good feeling often wears off, leaving you feeling guilty and wishing you’d made a different choice. Thinking about the consequences may push you to make the right decision. Remind yourself that:
•Exercise is a choice, not a jail sentence. Knowing you're in charge of what you do may nudge you in the right direction.
•Exercise is a commitment you make every day. Some days you're more committed than others, so draw on your discipline to get you out the door.
•Every day is different. You may have to work harder sometimes to get motivated.
2. How much have I exercised this week?
Look back at what you’ve done this week and ask yourself if you can afford a day off from exercise. If it’s the end of the week and you’ve worked out every day, you may need a day off to let your body recover and reenergize. If it’s been a few days, however, ask yourself if skipping workouts is starting to become a habit. Will skipping another workout make it even harder to get back on track tomorrow?

Now is a good time to start an exercise calendar to keep track of your workouts. Print out a monthly calendar and write down the workouts you’ve done and the workouts you plan to do. Keep it nearby so you can look at it whenever the urge to skip strikes.

3. How will I make up for my missed workout?
Imagine that you do skip your workout. Now ask yourself how you’ll make up for it. Will you do it later, maybe after work or before bed? Or will you get up early tomorrow and workout extra long? Visualize that and ask yourself if you’ll really do it -- or if you’re setting yourself up for failure.

If you do change your schedule, decide you can workout later only if you prepare for it ahead of time. For post-work exercise, pack your gym bag before you leave or get out your equipment and clothes so you can change as soon as you get home. If you’re exercising the next morning, put your workout clothes next to the bed and write down your workout plan. Put the note on top of your clothes so you won’t skip it tomorrow.

4. Do I have a legitimate reason to skip this workout?
Sometimes, skipping a workout is the best idea. If you’re sick, tired or injured, you may need to rest. If it’s a matter of motivation, think about or write down anything that might motivate you such as:
•All of the benefits of exercise
•Imagine all the people working out right now. If they can do it, so can you
•Think of how good you’ll feel when you’ve finished your workout
•Remember that getting started is the hardest part. Commit to doing your warm up. If you can get that far, you'll keep going
•Picture yourself putting on those jeans that haven’t fit in awhile
•Think of a future vacation or event you’d like to lose weight for
Keep trying until you find something that works and then keep your list handy for the next time.

5. How will missing this workout affect my goals?
If you’re trying to lose weight, how important is this workout? Exercising burns calories, builds endurance and improves strength. If you skip it, none of that will happen. Maybe missing one day won’t hurt but, remember, it’s the accumulation of your workouts that leads to success. Try these ideas:
•Remember your goals. Write them down and remember when you set them. Even if the urgency isn’t the same, it may be enough to get you started.
•Get some support. Have a friend email a workout reminder or tell someone about your goals so you’re held accountable.
•Set new goals. If your goals aren’t motivating right now, set a new goal to complete your workout that day. Making your goals smaller may help you reach them.
6. What could I do to make my workout more appealing?
If you’re dreading the coming workout, having something to look forward to may get you moving. Some ideas:
•Try a long warm up. Knowing you’ll have plenty of time to get ready for exercise may make it easier to get started.
•A new playlist. The right music makes any workout more fun. Download new music or create a playlist. Put your favorite song first to start your workout on the right foot.
•Try a long cool down. Spend extra time stretching after your workout to end things on a good note.
•Workout with a friend. If you’re dragging, ask a friend to workout with you. Having to show up is motivation all by itself.
•Talk about it. Everyone struggles from time to time. Join the exercise forum to get new perspectives on your workouts.
7. How could I reward myself for doing my workout?
When it comes to exercise, a little reward goes a long way towards motivation. If you’re having trouble getting started, think of how you could reward yourself for a job well done. Some ideas:
•Sitting in a hot tub or hot bath after your workout
•Time to read your favorite book or watch your favorite TV show
•A massage
•A night out with friends
•Going to a movie
•Time to play your favorite video or computer game
•A new workout outfit
You deserve a reward for working hard and if it motivates you to finish your workout, it's worth it.
8. How could I change my workout?
If you’re thinking of ditching your workout because you woke up late or had to work longer than usual, don’t skip the whole thing. Think of creative ways to get in a short, effective workout that will get the job done. If you have 10 or 15 minutes, try an intense interval workout. Warm up with a brisk walk and then alternate high intensity sprints or speedwalking for 30 seconds with recovery walks for 30 seconds. Choose a few whole body exercises like pushups, squats, lunges, jumping jacks or cross-country shuffles and go through a circuit, doing each one for a minute. Other workout ideas:
•10-Minute Timesaver Workouts
•Burn 100 Calories in 10 Minutes
•10-Minute Strength
•Office Workout
•Working Out on the Road
9. How will skipping my workout affect my day?
Your workout isn’t just important for burning calories, it can affect every part of your day, both physically and mentally. Remind yourself that getting in your workout will:
•Give you more energy
•Improve your confidence and self-satisfaction
•Start your day on the right foot
•Help you concentrate better
•Help you get more things done
•Allow you to actively re-commit to your goals
Exercise is one of the few things you can do that seep into all areas of your life. Just a few minutes and a little sweat will pay off in the long run.
10. What stands in the way of my workout?
Identify the thoughts stopping you from exercise and work through each one logically. Some common thoughts:
•"I’m too tired." After working all day, your mind is tired, but your body will feel better once it starts moving.
•"I’m too hungry." Have some yogurt or a sports drink. You’ll get an immediate infusion of energy to make it to the gym.
•"I don’t feel like it." Don't wait until you feel like it, because that may not happen. Once you get started, you’ll be more excited about your workout.
•"I have too much to do." You'll get more done if you put fitness first. Even a short workout is worth doing.
•"I'll do it later." It’s harder to workout when life gets hectic. Get your workout in early to guarantee your success.

The challenger Muay Thai

KJxSolar — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:29:09 +0800

Watched this yesterday. Kinda like those reality shows example MasterChef,America's Next top model,American idol etcetc.

16 muay thai fighters go through this show to become the competitor muay thai.

winner gets 100k and some belt(lol)

the weekly challenge is the person who uses the muay thai weapon the best(knee,elbow,fist etc) .yesterday was "conditioning"

then at the end of the week 2 fighters go into a 5 round muay thai fight and the loser is eliminated

the show is recorded at malaysia , one of the 16 fighters is also a malaysian . not sure whats his name Faizel "Golden Elbow" if i'm not mistaken

but hes quiet

so far was really amazed that a show like this actually got aired and malaysia actually endorsed this type of bloodsport on televisyen

but honestly its not bad and i will be continuing to watch this series. i love martial arts in general especially the human weapons/fight quest series.

neglect leg training if i train in martial arts?

KJxSolar — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:59:55 +0800

so my week would pretty much look like this

Monday:JuJitsu
Tuesday: Back and Biceps, Abs
Wenesday : Taekwondo/ Jujitsu
Thursday : Chest,Shoulder,Triceps , Abs
Friday: Taekwondo
Saturday:Stretching and Yoga , Abs
Sunday: Rest

meaning i only have upper body for building

Will my body be disproportionate?

i dont really want big legs as i prefer to have more speed.i seen people who trains legs have legs which is super big but i doubt they can kick nicely with it( taekwondo relies on kicks heavily)

Also my workout looks like this, is it ok?

Pectoral,Triceps,Deltoids
Chest
Pushups x2 (15 reps) - or should i put this as the last excercise and until failure?
Dumbell Incline Bench Press x3 (12 reps)
Flat Dumbell Bench Press x3 (12 reps)
Shoulder
Dumbell Shoulder Press x3 (12 reps)
Seated Bent-Over Rear Delt Raise x3 (12 reps)
Triceps
Lying Triceps Press x3 (12 reps)
Bench Dips x3 (12 reps)

I havent worked out a workout for back and biceps guys. i dont go to the gym so i'm relying on pullup bar and dumbells. this is what i have so far

Back
Wide Grip pullups x2
Chin ups x2
Close Grip pullups x2
Back Flys x3(12 reps)

Biceps
Concentration Bicep Curls x3 (12 reps)
Alternate Hammer Curls x3 (12 reps)

help me balance out my workout schedule

KJxSolar — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:42:47 +0800

I'm a martial arts practitioner but recently adding weight resistance to my schedule

Monday - Jujitsu
Tuesday - Chest and Back
Wenesday - Taekwondo
Thursday - Shoulder and Arms
Friday -Yoga and Taekwondo
Saturday -Rest
Sunday-Stretch

Trying to fit in a legs and back into the schedule as it seems training back once a week might not be sufficient.problem is i cant workout on weekends due to family is around the whole day

i have a punching bag

KJxSolar — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 20:19:25 +0800

i'm a martial artist that also do abit resistance weight training. right now i'm incorperating the both training for better workouts and such

problem is i have no idea where i can hang it. ceiling might be the obvious choice but i'm afraid the whole house would shake if i were to train with it

does taekwondo seriusly train you for selfdefence?

KJxSolar — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 23:16:13 +0800

will be taking my second degree black belt examinations in the coming months

i always tought i was obviously gonna get raped by the bigger muscular guys i see around walking in the gym if i were to piss them off

on the other hand, i recently picked up jujitsu for something to keep me more fitter. and the art actually trains you for a more mma style approach. not just kicks but an obvious use of punches , throws , takedowns, and jujitsu's specialty submission locks.

going back to taekwondo classes makes me find it hard to accept how many holes this martial art has.no kicking in the back and below belt.. like the people you fight in the streets give a care about that

i know people say its not the martial art thats the weakness but its the practitioners. now i'm doubting that statement because all i see in tornaments is just foot tag.

not saying TKD is bad in real life but maybe you have to apply TKD with a small mixture of other martial arts

as you know, most fights in Real Life ends on the ground. so having at least a basic understanding of ground fights to a TKD practitioner is ideal no?

i tagged this serius talk so i hope nobody comes in and say "omg u learn tkd? u would get killed by 1 bullet"
