There are at least five circumstances in which you can stay at home without feeling guilty.
If you feel weak, back pain and spasms in the lower abdomen, it is better to postpone training for a few days.
There are times when training represents a real danger to health.
Here are a few good reasons not to go to the gym:
You are ill.
Experts believe that during the illness of training should be postponed, preferring rest, sleep and abundant drink. These measures are necessary for the body to recover normally.
You have a period.
The first day of menstruation is a good reason to postpone going to the gym. In solving the dilemma: to go or not to go to training during critical days, you need to focus on your own well-being. If you suffer from severe pain, heavy discharge and dizziness, it is better to refrain from sports.
You were injured.
Before you start training after injury, remember that you can not train through severe pain. The severe pain in the damaged area clearly signals that it is not yet possible to strain it. Otherwise, you risk hindering the recovery processes and aggravate the problem.
You did not get enough sleep.
A healthy sleep improves the effectiveness of training, but the bad, on the contrary, reduces the effect of them. In addition, a sleepy person is at great risk of injury during sports.
You drank alcohol on the eve of training.
Alcohol acts as a diuretic and promotes dehydration, and physical activity is directly related to the release of a large amount of liquid through sweat. When these two factors are superimposed, the excretion of water from the body takes place at an incredible rate, which guarantees a strong dehydration and an increase in the viscosity of the blood.
