I walked the dogs and cleaned house for 3 hours. I am tiered but want to work out. I am wondering what the opinions of others is. Do you rest or work out when tired? Or let yourself rest not to stress the body?

    Work out! But be prepared that your body may not be up to your usual routine. Don't feel bad if you need to go a little slower than usual.

    I agree with the previous poster. Workout, but perhaps a little slower until you get warmed up. A crappy workout is better than no workout. It's different if you are getting sick or your body really needs a rest from other training.

    Workout! For me a good workout will get me going for hours afterwards...Just warm up real good and think about all the great things you'll accomplish!

    Yes, I don't expect to set any PRs but I still get it done.

    Good warm up + good playlist = no excuses (for me, anyway :smile: )

    I'm tired a lot, but I never regret working out.

    It depends how tired. If i got an hour or two of sleep the night before and am dragging all day, I probably would just go home. If I'm just sleepy at work or feeling run down, I'll go to the gym.

    Yep, I sure do get out there and get it done. Pretty much a sure thing I won't be tired when I'm done.

    Yes...unfortunately but I'm always glad I did after grinding through, more calories burned+quicker results :)

    After a long hard cold 11.5 hour day I hit it for an hour. Sucked but got it done and feel better.

    :) If I didn't work out when I was tired, I would never work out.

    I don't miss training days, unless an injury prevents them.
    In those cases, I work around the injury if possible.

    A lot of times I'll workout right when I get home from work before that melting into the couch feeling sets in.. And I'm a courier.

    "wow, i really regret that workout" says no one ever

    but seriously, try the workout for 10 minutes. If you're still exhausted, stop. Chances are, once you get into it you'll convince yourself to push through to finish.

    Most of the times my best workouts are the ones I don't feel like doing because I'm too tired.
    Not only I surprise myself during the workout but then I feel so much better afterwards!
    Just take it a bit easier and be ready to accept that your body is not at 100% and you'll be fine.

    I hate it while I am working out when I am tired, but.... I feel incredible after... So it is definitely worth pushing yourself!

    I try not to run when I am tired because I have a tendency to injure myself (sloppy form)
    I still work out tho. Sometimes I do core when I am tired because I am more comfortable with core... then make other stuff up on days I feel better.
