Have you tried this before?

Lindsay shares a quick way to know if you should work out when you're tired: if skipping makes you feel guilty, you have energy for it; if you feel indifferent, rest instead. A simple self-check for women over 40 caught between guilt and recovery.

So there I was. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. I had just gotten home from work and I thought to myself, I should get a workout in. But then that all too familiar voice started creeping in the back of my mind. Oh, you don't need to do that. You worked hard today. So here is how I figure out which voice to listen to. I'm Lindsay. I'm a board-certified midlife strength and metabolism coach. And if you've ever sat on the couch wallowing in guilt because you didn't go and work out, this might work for you. I think about the thing, and if I feel guilt thinking about not doing it, then I know I have the energy. If I legitimately feel nothing, then I know I don't. Super simple, works every time. So if you struggle with motivation, or you're always wondering if it's safe to work out when you're tired, this is a great way to figure out if you're actually tired or if your brain is just trying to work against you. Try it out the next time you feel this way, and follow for all things nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress for women over 40.
