First day back to the gym 🫶🏋️

So here’s the thing

I planned on starting 75 soft, or medium, idk last week - and I failed. Didn’t even get through day 1.

I am just not a challenge girly I guess.

I’ve always been consistent with the gym and my workouts, but I ended up taking the whole week off from the gym.

Today I decided it was time to get back to it. I had an AWFUL day. Between personal stuff, and work stuff, it was just a terrible day.

But I went outside, took some deep breaths of the fresh air and felt refreshed. I got my butt to the gym and hit the best workout I’ve hit in a long time!

Long story short, it’s okay to take some time off in your fitness journey. It’s okay to have a bad day. It’s okay to not be able to complete a challenge.

As long as you do your best to just get through each day and do what you can, that’s all that counts

Returning to the gym after a break can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with personal or professional challenges. It’s essential to understand that setbacks are a normal part of any fitness journey. Many individuals struggle with the pressure of sticking to strict programs like the 75 Hard Challenge, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy when they don’t meet such expectations. This experience can deter persistence in fitness. Instead, celebrating small victories in your workout routine is crucial. A quick workout can boost your mood and help regain motivation. Focus on enjoying the workout, rather than solely on results, as this mindset promotes long-term consistency. Surrounding yourself with supportive communities, whether online or offline, is beneficial. Engaging in conversations with individuals enduring similar struggles helps reinforce the idea that you're not alone in facing these challenges. Remember, every effort counts, and taking care of your mental and physical health should always come first.
