Reason #47 not to work out

I injured my __________. There are many reasons to skip a work out. One common is an injury. I recently jammed my finger and I talked myself out of a few weight training workout. I even talked myself out of a jog. A jog?!? I jammed my finger, and I let that ruin a jog? The jostling did aggravate it, but still, tape it to another finger, or heck, just deal with it.

The point is that if you hurt your wrist, hop on the exercise bike; if you hurt your foot, try some yoga. You have four limbs - move your good ones.

It still does a body good

Drink milk. You're bones still needs protection. I promise.
Some people are concerned about calories. Some people try to eat a healthier breakfast and, in doing so, try to avoid cereal. Some people hate the taste. Valid points, I say. But do it anyway. Drinking milk is one of those things that you don't realize how much you should have done it until it is too late. That is to say, it is a preventative measure. Taking in the good calcium in milk assists in avoiding injury. When engaging in vigorous exercise, you are putting a lot of stress on your joints and need to help fortify them. This is ESPECIALLY true you are doing any weight training. More strain on joint - higher need for fortification.

Drink milk!
