Do you still exercise when you are not feeling your best? To me, it all depends on how less than a 100% I feel. If I have a fever or stomach issues, I first replace the day with my rest day. If I just feel like I won't be able to get thru the workout I've scheduled (dread putting in the dvd), I'll thrown in Hip Hop Abs, an easy yoga/stretch dvd, or a Tony Horton workout with just arms (work out with lighter weights). If I don't feel into it after 10 minutes, I usually just give up. There is always another day. I don't sweat it. Sometimes I do feel guilty like I should have done better, but I know in the grand scheme of things, it is better to listen to my body. The
Beachbody DVD's I reach for when I want to do a lighter workout
