Why You Should Never Skip A Monday Workout

If you?ve had a lazy weekend spent on the sofa, then getting pumped up for a Monday workout is going to be tricky. This sleepy mode carries on throughout the day at work, as you trawl through the internet and do everything possible apart from doing what you should be.

When 5pm comes around you decide to sack off the gym and head straight home. Before you know it, it?s now Thursday and you still haven?t done any exercise.?”Might as well wait until next Monday to start again as it?s almost the weekend”, you tell yourself.

Does this sound familiar? Well, all your problems can?be traced back to Monday. No matter how much you try and convince yourself to skip the gym, don?t give in. Working out on a Monday will quickly become a routine and you?ll be able to carry this momentum throughout the week. Huffington Post lists seven great reasons why it?s more than worth it:

1. You?re More Likely To Workout The Rest Of The Week

Hello,?clean slate.

2. You?ll Smile More

Got a case of the Mondays? You’re not alone. Research?shows?that the average office worker doesn’t crack a smile until 11:16 a.m. But exercise could help you beat those Monday blues.
