While it’s important to make fitness a priority in your life, you shouldn’t expect to do the same workout routine every time you step foot in a gym. Instead, make sure you listen to your body when crafting a physical regimen that works for how you’re feeling.

Stress: If you’re experiencing high stress before a workout, relax your mind and body as cortisol levels are already high. Keep the intensity level of your workout at 70% or less with yoga or a light jog. For days you’re experiencing low stress, work on strength training.

Sleep quality: On days you’ve slept poorly, aim for gentle movements like cycling or mobility exercises. When you’ve slept well, go all out with a high energy workout like boxing, weight lifting or a run.

Injuries: If you’re injured, the best thing you can do is allow yourself the proper time to heal so the problem doesn’t become worse. Contact us for an appointment so we can help you get back to your activities ASAP.
