Thursdays are always a tricky day for people, but especially when it comes to fitness. It's almost Friday so your brain starts creeping into weekend mode.

Weekend mode also sometimes means weekend habits: lazy, cheat meals, beer/wine and no workouts

Don't let this happen to you!

Historically throughout the last 7-1/2 years at LiveFit Thursdays are the slowest day of the week. What you'll also find historically is that the clients that attend on Thursdays are also our most successful transformations.

Why?

Because they are working out because it's a part of their routine. It's what they do every day before or after work. It's not Thursday to them, it's just another day of the week.

For clients new to working out, by the time Thursdays roll around every square inch of their body is sore. They think that there is no way that we'll find a body part that isn't sore to work on that day, so they'll take the day off.

When the truth is that a body in motion stays in motion. If you stop moving you get stiff and even MORE SORE!

You need to move, drink more water, stretch and lift to help increase blood flow to all your muscles to dramatically increase your recovery time.

The other thing to keep in mind is that if you're working with an experienced trainer, they'll already know EXACTLY how sore you are already and programmed appropriate exercises on Thursday to stimulate your muscles, not annihilate them!

One of things you'll almost always find on Thursdays at LiveFit is what I call "fun" things. Is it still hard? Does it still kinda suck?

Yes of course, but afterwards you feel freaking amazing, less sore and filled with endorphins.

Today for instance is a combination of ab exercises, throwing around medicine balls, playing with frisbees (seriously), and running/walking through tires.

All different and unique type things that will still get your body moving, but leave your body and muscles feeling fresh going into the weekend.

But you would've never know had you taken the day off :)
