Yes, you read that right. Listen to your body and I am not talking about
the little voice that says eat the candy bar or have a bag of chips. In
that fact you have to tell your body clean eating 80/20!!
What I
mean by listen to your body is when it says to rest that means just
that or it may just tell you that you have to stop for a bit! I had to
listen to my body when I was doing Insanity and instead I pushed myself
every time my Achilles tendon started to feel better. Guess what that
put me out a few weeks doing no workouts!
Well this time I
listened to my body because I woke up after going to bed last night
without stretching and after my cat tripped me on the stairs...while I
was walking up them.
Though the not stretching could have made me a
little sore the tripping done me in a bit. I woke up barely able to move
wanting someone to just lift me out of bed. I am needing to see a Chiro
and until I can I am taking it easy and doing what I can as I knocked
my pelvic out of place again. I thought about just pushing play and
working through it as I am in a challenge group with Shaun T but I know
he'd tell me to rest.
I have hope, pride, and a need to my daily
workout. All day today has been thrown off from waking up in pain, not
able to do the one thing that makes me happy go lucky (my routines), and
then two kids not feeling well after two nights with 2hrs of sleep, and
then yes the school calls another kid is sick! I can now see WHY my
body told me to rest. I need it and my body needs it. I am grouchy
because I couldn't workout but my body will thank me better.
In
the end your body will tell you when and what it needs you just have to
listen so that it doesn't tear you up and spit you out unable to do what
you want. So push play and listen if it tells you to take something
easy, to rest, or to take a day off as long as you go for it with 100
percent when your body says to go for it!
