Missed Workouts

[mrbean]

"A workout neglected is an opportunity lost. It weakens the structure. Worse yet, it indicates a structure already weak."

"Go to the gym, train hard and grow. Every bad gym-day becomes a great gym-day, once you pass the front door. The cold ugly weights melt in your hands and become as sculptures to the lover of art. Soreness dissipates like the morning dew, and the strength of the hot sun fills your veins. What was lifeless or hopeless is revived by the renewed power of inspired hands. The gym enables, enlightens and inspires. The workout creates, restores and fulfills. And you receive, respond and progress.

"Next time the occasion to skip a workout arises, ask yourself if it’s an opportunity or a catastrophe? Will you submit to the moment or fight it with all your heart, mind and strength? If you choose the former, you will lose. You are the catastrophe."

"A missed workout could mean a loss of training momentum, the stimulation of dormant guilt, the recession of self-confidence, the cessation of humor and joy, the return of that cruel streak, the deterioration of purpose and will and the eventual shriveling of the body, mind and soul. Missing a workout can be a bummer."

"I’m impressed with anyone making it to a purposeful gym these days. They stepped out of the world where aspiration is not encouraged, achievement is not properly rewarded, and turmoil flows like a river after a storm. They’re trying and trying in itself is noteworthy."
