I finally crashed this evening – my body is telling me that I need the rest more than anything else.
While I certainly could “gut out’ a workout, I know I will be better off waiting until tomorrow and as soon as this email is finished, you can bet that I’m going to go back and hit the hay. Tomorrow is a big day and I need to be on point. In this case, taking the night off is the right thing to do. I know this because I know my body and I also know that the next time I do train, it will be that much better.
I know I always talk about never missing workouts but it should also be understood that there is a time and a place for doing so. You see, there will be times when missing a scheduled work out is the smartest thing you can do. (Although this should not be confused with laziness.) Listen, and pay attention. – When it comes to your physical well-being, your body will tell you all you need to know.
Train hard,

John Wood
