Feeling guilty every time I skip my workout. Why?

[desidoll]

Sometimes it just happens that I'm home quite late from work and get so tired so I skip my workout. Now my problem is I feel guilty about it. I don't even dare to look at the mirror because I'm too afraid of seeing how my body has changed lol. I know it sounds crazy but that's how I feel.

[IUdude]

You feel guilty, because you know you need to get that workout in. It's ok to occasionally miss one, but it can't become common. You kinda have to reach your low or really get inspired somehow to keep at it. I used to carry around a picture of me when I was a chubby/fat boy, and that made me do it, cause I never want to be that way again. Now, I'm working with a trainer and getting bigger muscles and upper body, and seeing the payoff keeps me hitting it, cause I see the benefits, and girls are noticing.
Good luck! You've got to really want it.

[desidoll]

Looking at our previous image is a very good inspiration indeed 👍

[Hans222]

It's because movement is good for your body and generally you feel good after a workout. So the feeling of guilt is probably explained by knowing you missed something your body needs :o

[desidoll]

Make sense

[Hans222]

Enjoy your workouts!

Skipping a work out now and then isn't the end of the world. You're not going to put a stone on because you didn't do a work out one or two nights a week.

[Fearless_banana]

Well let that guilt yield something positive. Who cares if you're tired and it's later! I mean what do you want.. A nice tight fit bod or to watch tv and relax before bed? Make decisions with logic and disregard emotion when it's detremential to your goals. It's much more logical to go to the gym for it will make you happier in the long run in comparison to watching tv before you to go bed.

[desidoll]

When do you think is the best time of day to workout?

[Fearless_banana]

I like mid morning after I've had 2 meals. I can easily train after one meal as well because most of the time I have to go really early. Usually wake up at 4 30 to 5ish. Go straight downstairs and warm up my first meal and shove it down my throat as quickly as I can so that it will be digested by the time I hit the weights. Get all my shit ready and prepped for the day. Take a shower before the gym and then just quick cold rinse post workout at the gym so I don't have to stop home. Can just start my day.

[desidoll]

Sounds like a proper routine for working people 👍

[Gommers]

Find a job with a gym and workout on breaks and at lunch.

[Marttinez]

You have a beautiful body which I'm sure you have worked hard to keep it that way and it's normal to feel guilty if you skipped a day thinking that somehow you will loose muscle or increase weight, but keep in mind that your body needs rest so your body can heal and get more energy which you can use in your next work out to train harder.

[desidoll]

Thank you. I don't mind skipping it for a day.

[Anonymous]

That's natural right! Don't worry about it if you are too busy, you need to fit it in around your life. But you could try doing pressup or planks at home when you can't get to the gym.

It's natural, and it's the slow and steady approach that works best. Just try not to do it too often.

And by the way, judging from your profile picture, doesn't seem like you need to workout that much!

Can u help me out on question pls?

[desidoll]

Which question?

[Opinion Owner]

This one please? www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q2078940-do-women-categorise-men-are-they-only-truly-dirty-in-the-bedroom

[TripleAce]

Sure

The release of hormones and chemicals we get from the gym is addictive.

Also there is a misconception. Skipping meals, missing out on some Protein in a day won't shribble away your muscles. Much like missing some days won't change your body

Its the overall that counts, that you consistently go over the course of say 10 years

[Shaft50]

Try doing it first thing in the morning... just takes a bit more discipline but it's done for the day and you get to feel energised throughout the day...

[desidoll]

I do in the evening but now I plan to change it in the morning. Better to settle it as the first thing before going to work

[Shaft50]

It works for me

[Sojex]

I feel the same way when I skip a workout. For me, I feel guilty cause I feel like I let myself down. I could've went but I choose to not cause cause I'm tired or I don't have enough time, whatever excuse I have at the moment

[desidoll]

I guess we need to be more discipline 😐

[Decentguy]

my toe is fractured but im still going to the gym, and i crushed my legs today by doing a leg day. when your tired just take some caffeine in take and then go to gym

[desidoll]

I admire your discipline 😊

[Decentguy]

Thanks :) and when your feeling tired then drink some green tea or coffee then you'll be fresh and good to go to the gym :)

[desidoll]

Welcome😊I don't have coffee or tea in my kitchen but I'll get it though.

[Decentguy]

hmm, because caffeine intake will make you fresh and give you lot of energy

[akadatank44]

Thats natural I think. But sometimes life gets in the way and if you are one of those people who works out before work. Sometimes sleepin in especially if you had a late night before is better than the workout itself.

[brewersfan01]

I feel the same. I really enjoy working out so when I know I should be there and I got something else goin on I kinda feel guilty. The extra rest helps my following day workout though, i got a little more spark in it.

[HulkkSmash]

Why would you skip a workout? Unless you're injured, then I understand because I've been there.

[desidoll]

Sometimes I arrive home very late and already exhausted enough to do my workout.

[HulkkSmash]

Hey do whatever you want. I work out at midnight if I have to. My mom calls me crazy for doing it but she's never worked out a day in her life.

[desidoll]

I thought about doing so too but I feel like being too obsessive about it. Perhaps I should try it thanks 😁

[HulkkSmash]

Like i said do whatever you want.

[Xfitchick]

Don't feel guilty. Just put on your running shoes, run a distance, take a shower at home and chill.

[IVoidWarranties]

grab an espresso shot from your kitchen an workout at home

[Whocares69]

Cause you know you are taking the easy way out that's why

[takumii]

You feel guilty coz you can't manage your time properly. #facts
