    No. Doesn't bother me. I haven't done a "workout" since spring when the farm work started.

    I do. It actually messes with my head even though I know it isn't a big deal and I need rest days. Unless I'm ill, I always do something, even if it's something small.

    Besides the head game, I don't think it's a bad habit, per se, but it's kind of annoying to not just...relax.

    I definitely feel like a slacker when I miss my routine exercises. A few years agp I did a polar bear jump on New Year's and sadly broke my ankle. Had to have surgery and get screws in it. I was really frustrated because I was in great shape and regularly attended a high intensity aerobics class. So.....I did sit-down upper waist movements/stretches, exercised my good leg, did recommented PT movements on my broken leg, and as soon as I had a walking cast I went to my aerobics class and did everything I could that didn't put weight or bad moves on my bad ankle. Worked like a charm. Guess I just had to do something-it helped me feel better. I laugh now about my quest to keep in shape then.

    I feel bad in the sense that I like the way my body feels after a workout. I don't get that feeling from doing something else. I like having my workouts somewhat scheduled. In previous years my schedule was chaos, dealing with one crisis after another, so knowing what I'll be doing to make myself healthier is great. That being said, I don't feel guilty if life gets in the way, because there are plenty of ways to get a workout in.

    Right now I feel bad (not guilty, just sad I guess) because I can't swim for a few more weeks and I really miss the water.

    Not if I miss one, but I'm a snow-ball type person. One missed session will turn into 2 or 3 or more.... I start to get mentally and physically tired. When I work out, I have more energy, and when I slack off, I get more lethargic.

    I usually go in the morning and it gets it out of the way. For me, its just a matter of getting in the door.

    I don't know what happen. Just came back from Planet Fitness and did a whole body workout with 30 min of cardio at 6mph. I guess that rest day made a huge difference that I could finish my cardio strong and I was jamming. I wonder if people was like who the hell be all happy to do cardio..LOL..:)

    I don't care at all. I feel nothing when I miss a workout, I just don't care that much. I'm not interested in being super fit, just healthier.

    Yes, because of work, tonight I'm sitting at a desk instead of running away from my problems. I'd much rather be running. Or lifting things and throwing them back down.

    Thanks, this was something I had to learn though...I used to emotionally beat myself up for my failings when it came to my health, lots of self shaming. I'm also admittedly lazy, but at least I know it.

    What do you mean? Like a day you had PLANNED to go or a day off period? Because if it's a planned one, sometimes I do. But you need rest days to rejuvenate or you can hurt yourself.
