If you’re tired, skip the workout

Why: I think of exercising on low energy as going into “energy debt.” It can raise cortisol, increase inflammation, and slow recovery to feeling balanced again.

Because high cortisol can cause the body store fat around its organs, resting is actually more beneficial than the workout for your physique too.

Rest gives your energy levels a chance to recover, your body a chance to repair, and your nervous system to settle, allowing you to perform better and benefit more from your next workout.
