I could have pushed myself through another five minutes of speed workout on the stationary bike today, but I got off the bike when I felt temporary soreness in my hamstrings. I felt bad for five minutes about “quitting” on myself. But I had reasoned myself to believe that I made the right choice - I was tired, sore, and dehydrated; therefore, the last thing I needed was to injure myself. Picking a point to stop your workout can be frustrating because of the guilt that you may feel. However, remember, fitness is a lifelong commitment. Don’t push yourself over the edge when your body is telling you rest and recover, or you may end up with nagging injuries for rest of your life. I know you can go for the extra five minutes, but that doesn’t mean you should!
