Episode 3473: Harold Gibbons encourages treating exercise as a sustainable habit rather than an all-or-nothing commitment, even when you're feeling under the weather. He explains why maintaining a modified routine during mild illness can help preserve consistency, support long-term motivation, and prevent temporary setbacks from becoming lasting habits. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markfisherfitness.com/in-sickness-in-health-on-exercise/ Quotes to ponder: \"Skipping Workouts is the Gateway Drug to Not Working Out\" \"When you’re sick, it’s not the time to set a Personal Record, to up the weights, to cut into that 5k time. It’s not the time to sneak in an extra set or mile.\" \"It’s a time to take care of yourself, to use the physical activity to move just enough. Remember, this is a Goldilocks workout: Not too much, not too little, but just right.\" Episode references: Working Out When Sick (Precision Nutrition): https://www.precisionnutrition.com/working-out-when-sick Learn more about your ad choices.
