Personal Training Journal Entry #12
Sometimes you get burnt out from being in a gym and performing the same exercises on a consistent basis. Just like being becoming physically tired from doing too much of the same exercise, your mind can become mentally exhausted from repetitive training. So, let’s take a break. This weekend I plan on going to Will Rogers or Dog Beach to paddle board for some relaxation. I’m also going to take a much needed day off of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to hike Temescal Canyon and enjoy the air a bit. My break from mental exhaustion might not be the same as yours, but it should have the same purpose. We often exercise because it helps us cope with mental stress. But, what we often don’t recognize is when our task of exercising becomes a stress itself. Take your breaks when you need it, and keep your life in balance.
