Lately, life’s been throwing a lot my way work deadlines, family stuff, you name it. It’s got me thinking about how to approach training when stress levels are high. On one hand, I know consistency is key, and pushing through can sometimes feel like a win. But on the other, recovery is huge for performance, and forcing it might do more harm than good.
How do you all handle this? Do you stick to your usual routine to stay disciplined, or do you dial things back to match your energy? Curious to hear what’s worked for others, especially when it comes to balancing intensity with recovery.
Life’s already kicking your butt no need to let the gym join in! Dial it back like a bad karaoke singer and save the heroics for when you’re not one coffee away from a breakdown. Rest now, slay later.
