Time Traveling

Everyone knows that jet lag is the real deal.

Traveling across time zones wreaks havoc and can leave you feeling weird for days or even weeks.

At the seminar this past weekend, one speaker made an analogy that, for a lot of people, Monday morning is like jet lag.

Staying up late on the weekend, sleeping in more to make up for the staying up late, and eating a diet of fun weekend things and alcohol can make it feel like you’ve travelled across time zones when the alarm clock goes off on Monday morning.

Just like getting stronger and more fit in the gym is all about doing the fundamentals, really well, over and over and over again. Creating a healthy lifestyle outside of the gym works the same way. You’ve got to do the basics, get enough sleep, properly fuel your body and move throughout the day.

I’m not encouraging you to give up fun. But if you time travel 52 weeks out of the year, I know one thing for sure, it’ll slow your in-gym progress way down.
