Feel guilty if they don't workout in some manner? Just curious, because it happened to me yesterday.

    I feel guilty 95% of the time, some days I just don't feel up to it.

    You'll almost always regret NOT working out, but you never regret working out no matter how much you hate it while you're doing it.

    I never thought this would be my answer, but YES! And I don't eat my exercise calories, so it's not like I'm bummed because I can't eat more, LOL. I try to do SOMETHING every day and feel guilty when I couldn't even manage to get in a 30DS workout!

    It happened to me yesterday as well. I had a new dishwaasher delivered to the house and I had to wait for the delivery and THEN the installation. They were there over 2 hrs, ruined my day with not being able to get to the gym and work out with the PT, lol

    I usually feel some guilt when my schedule doesn't allow it or makes it difficult, but some days I just need a break to rest my body.

    @Dexy ... you hit the nail on the head! I always feel good after working out, even if I don't feel like doing it before or during the exercise!

    Not so much guilty as I do antsy....I want to go get the stress out, burn it all off...and feel great after. If I don't have time to go, the stress builds up and then it's not a good day. Of course I don't worry about that on rest days but I HAVE to work out at least 5 days a week.

    Yes, I feel guilty if I don't run or otherwise exercise. One trick to get out the door - if you still don't feel like running/exercising after 10 minutes, call it quits for the day.

    And you know what? That has never happened -- I've always ended up completing my workout.

    I don't feel guilty per se, but if I miss a scheduled run I seem to be in a saltier mood.
