Right choice, wrong choice? You decide.
So I had the morning off of training with my figure coach, Terry Stokes. He took the day off which in turn gave me a free morning. I had a strength workout yesterday morning and then went back in for a fat burning cardio workout last night. So this morning I was faced with the decision to get up and go to my own gym or catch up on som emuch needed sleep.
I chose sleep, and I’ll tell you why. It wans’t an impulse decision, it was actually a strategic one. I figured if I slept in a bit this morning, I will have more energy to go balls out at the gym tonight. When I do 2 workouts a day, theytend to both be a touch more moderate. This way I will get a crazy workout in the evening. Make sense, it did to me, but I know by training standards, it would have been better to work out twice and get my metabolism working in the morning and in the evening. I’m not overly upset with my decision, I really felt I needed the rest, but I do feel a touch guilty about not going. I’ll definitely make up for it tonight though. What do you think?

Hey, sometimes you just need some extra rest. Its not like you didn`t go so you could go eat a chocolate cake. Sometimes a little added rest actually helps your body to recover. I love the morning cardio workout but there are times, my body needs a rest, so I don`t get up that morning. I honestly do feel guilty, but then I just hit it hard the next day. Life is short , so enjoy it. If that means one measly little sleep in among all the other days that you are up busting your ass, go for it.
