from The Mindset/Mirror Connection · host The Mindset/Mirror Connection Podcast
We’ve all been there… debating whether to work out when we’re sore, feeling under the weather, or nursing an injury. The fear of losing progress or breaking momentum is real—but is pushing through always the right choice?ere’s what to consider:💪 Sore? Good sore vs. bad sore—can you sit on the toilet? 😅 Adjust based on your workout type & recovery needs.🤧 Sick? Above the neck (mild congestion) = light movement might be okay. Below the neck (fever, deep cough) = REST.⚡ Injured? Acute vs. chronic pain—listen to your body, modify, and seek help when needed.✨ Sometimes, rest is the best way to stay consistent long-term. Let’s ditch the all-or-nothing mindset and train smarter!Tell us in the comments: Have you ever pushed through when you probably shouldn’t have?
