8 good reasons when it is possible to miss a training

Whether it is worth forcing itself to go to the gym, when there is no forces? How to arrive with a training if the head ached? Whether to skip fitness class if you were invited to an appointment? How do you answer similar questions?

There are several cases when you precisely are able to afford not to go to fitness. And not to suffer sense of guilt. From one-two skipped classes nothing fatal happens if, of course, it is not laziness, and you have one of these explanations:

1. Caught a cold.
Sometimes fitness consultants give the general advice for all: If you slightly caught a cold – exercises will support your immune system so do not skip class.

But, unfortunately, council works not for all and not always. When it is only about fatigue or cold – that the training will not prevent. But if body temperature is increased – the excess stress will only aggravate a disease. In such state the organism should concentrate and collect all the forces on healing, but not on a training.

So: moderate exercises are not forbidden at cold, but are contraindicated at high temperature and symptoms of flu.


2. Did not get enough sleep.
If you did not manage to fall asleep strong at night on the eve of the training, then the best that you can make for the organism – to spend hour or so, allocated for occupations, for a dream and rest. Especially it is important if sleep debts or insomnia lasted more than one night.

It is sometimes better to take a nap, than to load a tired organism with trainings.

3. The head hurts.
It is possible to ignore only a mild pain which does not bring you sufferings. But if pain sharp and unpleasant, then is better to refuse a training. Overcoming itself, you can increase weight of consequences. Remember: any acute pain is a signal to pay attention to the health.

At a severe headache of sports will not help.

4. Muscles hurt.
History is quite widespread. And familiar even to professionals. They too sometimes work very hard. Exceeding habitual loading, together with strong muscles we, unfortunately, get also muscular pain. Whether it is worth continuing to be engaged if this pain did not pass to following a training?

It is better to give to muscles the day off and to restore forces. It if severe pain. At moderate muscle pain trainings, but with smaller intensity, than usually are admissible.

And in general, remember: pain which develops in muscles several hours later after classes, - demonstrates that you chose too high intensity of exercises.


5. The back hurts.
Back pain is the serious warning sign that the previous loadings were too intensive. We pay attention to muscular discomfort more often, and back pain is often incorrectly treated and ignored. And in vain. If pain does not vanish in a back within several days, then you should visit the doctor, but not a training.

If pain moderate, it is possible to visit the gym. But know that it is possible to do only such exercises which do not bring discomfort. Avoid movements which remind you of back pain.

6. The periods do not come.
Amenorey, that means lack of periods, can be caused by extreme physical activity. If you noticed that changes in your cycle happened along with the fact that you began to be engaged very intensively in the gym, - that it has to guard you at least. Violations of a menstrual cycle – not a really good signal for female health. Diseases of internals and also reduction of level of estrogen can turn out to be consequence that, in turn, increases risk of development of osteoporosis.

7. Was tired.
In a pursuit of an ideal body many face a reverse side of intensive trainings – exhaustion and fatigue. If you train 4 days a week (and is more often), then in few weeks of forces can already not be enough for such rhythm. You pass to intensity in 2-3 days a week, or time in 2 weeks miss day of a training. To keep desire again to attend classes.


8. Once.
Sometimes it is necessary to choose: to go to a training or to meet girlfriends, to start doing fitness or pay attention to family. Experts advise to behave in a tone and to be disciplined. But I will allow to express the opinion. It seems to me that it is sometimes normal – to miss jog for the sake of some long-awaited event or an important meeting. The main thing – to motivate itself again to return to the rhythm of occupations after the admission. If to learn to do it, then it will not have an impact on a figure.
