We’ve all been there: you didn’t sleep well, work was brutal, and now the gym is calling your name. The big question is — should you go anyway?
✅ The Short Answer:
Yes… but with a plan.
🧠 How to Decide:
Tired or Exhausted? If you’re mentally tired but physically fine → train. If you’re physically wrecked → modify or rest. Type of Fatigue? Sleep-deprived? Keep it light. Stressed? Training might help reset your mood. Goal-Driven Adjustments: Strength day? Drop the load, focus on form. Cardio? Go Zone 2 and just move.
🛑 When to Skip:
You’re sick, injured, or feeling warning signs (e.g., dizziness, joint pain). You’ve had multiple nights of poor sleep. You’re dragging emotionally and training feels destructive.
💡 The Rule:
“Show up, scale down, or shift to recovery.
But keep the habit loop alive.”
Consistency beats perfection. Tired sessions still count — mentally, physically, and habitually.
