Ever had a day when you’re Just. Not. feeling. It? I can vouch for having more than one of them in the past. I can confidently say that I will have them in the future too. 

Since we all agree that this is part of living #fitandstrong, let’s talk about my three best tools to get workout-inspired when you’d really rather choose your couch over your gym bag.

1. Do what you love

When you find yourself stretched thin and reaching for inspiration, give yourself permission to visit the first activity that brought you exercise joy. Today is not the day for a workout you’ve never tried or one you put in the ‘this is hard as shit!’ category.  

If you don’t like lifting weights or running, don’t do them on a low-inspiration day (even if they are in your calendar). Assuming that your workout needs to be pumping iron or jogging will only limit you from finding true joy today. 

Maybe you need to take a walk today, or attend your favorite yoga class that you haven’t been to in a million years....
