Know when to Fold 'em.

It's Wednesday night and after a busy weekend and start to the week I am tired! Yes, it's true, I do get tired.
What is different for me now, compared to my early 20's is I listen to my body. How are you at listening to your body? Do you know when to push through the fatigue and get your workout in or to take a rest day instead of powering through? It's a fine line and if that fine line is pushed too far too often you'll suffer from burn out, lack of motivation or even worse....INJURY, YIKES!
After 3 days of a 6am or 7am start with 5 clients in a row each morning, hard workouts Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, I came home after my morning shift today, ate lunch then napped for 1 hour, got up, snacked and went back in for my evening shift with great focus and energy. Not only did I see my clients, but I also felt energized enough at the end of my shift to do my recovery workout for the day.
If I had of chosen to stay after my morning clients and do my workout despite my fatigue I wouldn't have been as focused, therefore would not have challenged my self as much which leads to less progress or gains.
Anyway, the next time you're struggling to get to your workout ask yourself if you'd be better off "folding 'em" for now and playing the next hand or if you should take your chances.
