Miss Monday
Never miss a Monday is a bullshit “rule”.
Miss it.
It’s one day of the week. 1/7. 14%.
You have 86% of the week left.
I don’t know where this never miss a Monday “rule” for fitness came from. But it’s dumb. Probably from some “fitness” magazine that says you can lose 15lbs in 5 days. All you have to do is eat air.
You just had a really stressful Monday. You haven’t eaten much. Are you going to ruin your progress by missing Monday?
Nope.
I would argue you can even improve your progress by missing it and reframing the situation.
You aren’t missing Monday. You are preparing for Tuesday.
You use the time you would normally use to exercise to prioritize other aspects of your health.
Maybe you take a nap. Maybe you take care of some tasks that have been stressing you out. Maybe you cook yourself a nice meal. Or go out for dinner. Treat yo self.
You are ready for Tuesday.
And then you crush it.
Maybe over time you realize Monday just isn’t a good day for you to start your training week.
If the day ends in a Y, it’s a good day for you to start your training week.
