Let's talk your gym sessions + specifically those ones that just SUCK

You can do every little thing right

And still have a shit training session

Because guess what? You're not a robot

You can get your 8 hours of sleep

You can have your pre-training coffee

You can do all your warm ups + mobility

And then boom! Your main exercises go to shit

Your body doesn't want to play ball

In this moment you have two choices..

1. Beat yourself up, force yourself to stay + then spend the rest of the day feeling pissed off and frustrated

or

2. Accept that you can't control everything. Finish off the session with some stretching/ a walk/ any exercise you feel you want to play with and then leave. Draw a line under it. Go seek some sunshine or listen to a podcast

I say this as someone who wasted years beating myself up about my "shit" performance on some days

Especially those hormonal ones..

My clients often feel the same. They're used to the guilt/shame spiral

But as my hero client Jas said to me this week "I knew I had to get the fuck out of there before my brain was like “grow up and finish your work out”. I don’t HAVE to be in pain. Also removing myself from the situation was what I needed. I don’t feel guilty, old me would feel guilty"

You do not need to feel guilt around your training session

Because you can do all the things and it still not work out

That's okay

Make peace with it

And definitely ignore the influencers who always post about how amaaaaazing their workout was

Everyone has a shit one every now and then

It's not just you 💘
