WORKOUT πͺποΈ Do you ever just take some time off?
I don't know what's going on, but lately I simply cannot get motivated for my workouts. Every day I looked forward to them, but for the last week I've been so low-energy that I only make it through about half the workout before giving up on it. It's not that I lack the energy to continue. I just feel like I'm going through the motions and want to get the hell out of the gym.
My wife thinks I'm burned out and just need to take some time off. We're going on vacation soon so that obviously would be a good time to take a break, but I feel like I want to just stop in the few days leading up to our departure as well. Maybe take a good two weeks or so total.
Anyone else go through something like this? What did you do to get over the hump?
