We have all been there before. Something comes up, you forgot your sneakers at home, your car doesn’t start…The first thing you can say to yourself is wow, I actually feel guilty about missing my workout. At least you have the determination and audacity to really want to improve your wellbeing. The second thing to do is tell yourself its ok. You missed a boot camp, a gym class, whatever. Sometimes an extra day off can be beneficial to recover completely before working out at a high intensity again. If the exercise bug won’t stop pestering you though, get outside and go for a jog. This will keep blood flowing to all your muscles and deliver nutrients for rebuilding as well as strengthening your cardio vascular system. Another way to burn extra calories while not going to the gym is just adding extra steps to your day. Park your car further away in the parking lot, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or just get up from your desk every 20-30 minutes and take a lap around the office.
