Excerpt : You know the line. Something comes along that is fun or interesting and "the gang" is ready to go. Or a party lands right on top of your workout time and the line you get from your girl, wife or

You know the line. Something comes along that is fun or interesting and "the gang" is ready to go. Or a party lands right on top of your workout time and the line you get from your girl, wife or friends is "Aw c'mon, missing one workout won't kill you".

own consequences. In my mind, you are allowing the importance of other stuff to mess with your workouts. You have to ask yourself the question; "Are my workout more important than fun or is it the other way around."

As they slide down this slope, I see the frequency of workouts and misses flip flop. They have more misses than hits at the gym. Before long working out is a leftover priority. Let's face it, these folks are really working out only if it

So am I saying never miss a workout? Am I saying, make training your top priority? Absolutely not on both counts! Am I saying rarely miss a workout...yes absolutely. In 32 years of training, I have not missed more than 2 weeks of continuous workouts and in that instance there was a life crisis on my hands.

-Party or planned social event that you must be one time, like parents anniversary etc. - I will plan my workout in advance to free up time to attend. Most gyms are open long hours. I would rather workout at 3AM than
