Anyone else have a go to workout that they do when they’re just not feeling it? I think having a core set of exercises that you know well, a routine that you’re comfortable with and something you know is targeting what you need is a great way to still get something done when you’re not feeling motivated or 100%.
My go to routine is all about dissociation, being able to move one part of my body whilst stabilising another is perfect for improving my riding. I also just do a little bit of everything rather than focus on one body part so that nothing get’s fatigued and the workout is easier.
In my normal training I mix up the exercises, the focus is different in each session and I’m working towards a particular outcome. I currently go to the gym to do weights 4 times a week for two full body sessions with one upper and one lower training session. Some sessions I genuinely can’t walk downstairs at the end, but sometimes I just don’t want to go there and I don’t have the willpower to push myself, which is exactly when a comforting, easier routine is exactly what I need.
