Nowadays everyone is so much trying to keep fit, keep their hearts healthy and cholesterol count low that sometimes overlook the fact there are times when you should not be exercising at all. Besides the common excuses that people use, here you can find real reasons to stop training for a while and do not blame yourself in laziness.

When you are ill

Do not exercise if you are not feeling well, even if it is just a cold. Workout can put more strain on your immune system and prolong illness. As a result you will spend more time away from the physical activity. Training while being ill is also a prime cause of other injuries since it is more difficult to concentrate on what you are doing when you feel bad. Have not you seen someone faint while doing a step class with a high temperature, and get a black eye from hitting neighbor’s step?

When you have not had enough
recuperation time


Do not rush back to your normal workout routine after you have been ill. Starting to train too early is likely to lead to a reemergence of your symptoms. When you do decide to go back to the gym, be sure to start your exercises slowly and with care. Even one week or so off your usual routine can make a difference. Ease yourself back into your shape by doing just half of your normal workload and gradually building up.

When you are feeling stressed and wiped out

There sometimes are days when you do not feel like going to the gym, but sometimes your body might be telling you to take a break. It will do you a power of good to have a day off from your fitness classes. Go home, have a healthy meal and do not punish yourself mentally for not being at the gym. Remember that all-round fitness incorporates spiritual wellbeing. Even though workouts can give you that stress-lifting endorphin high, sometimes you just need to relax.

When you have an injury

Whatever the injury, make sure that it is completely healed before you return to training. A simple one could be become much worse by your well-meaning attempt to lose it up. You can hurt yourself again and even worse. Seek professional advice from your doctor for any sports or strain injury that is still painful after one day.
