Is It Ok To Change A Workout Early?

May 28, 2009 · Filed Under Workouts 

Something I’ve been asked and have actually asked myself in the past has been the question “Is it OK to change a workout early?”

What I mean is this…

If you have a workout that you want to do for 4 weeks in a row then switch, but after 2 weeks you have a hard time doing it anymore (either mentally or physically)….should you change it, or try to push yourself through it?

In my opinion, you need to change it.

The reason is because if you try to push yourself too hard, you’re mentally going to wear yourself out. And if you can’t get through it physically, you’ll either end up injured or overtrained.

So either way, you’re NOT doing yourself a favor by trying to push through something you can’t do.

I’ll be honest, I personally have a hard time with this sometimes. I know that I should be changing my workout because I’m kind of forcing myself through it, but I don’t. It happened to me today though – and I’m changing my workout tomorrow.

How about you? Did this ever happen to you?
