'Down' time and how to manage it

Got a client that's been sick for a couple of weeks - a major cold which she can't shake because she keeps going to work. Needless to say, she's not had a lot of energy to make it into the gym or do anything 'extra' to get her calorie burn in. So, I suggested that she just put herself on a self-imposed maintenance mode... (I could actually change the mode myself, but if this is just short term then I don't want to do anything like change the Target numbers - sometimes that can be such a shock to the psyche, new Target numbers) Saw her today, she's going to try to get back into the gym to get some activity in. It's this great big Catch-22, she wanted to go to work and then found herself lacking the energy after work to come into the gym. The longer she holds off, the less energy she'll have and the less desire she'll have. So, you always need to get right back in the saddle and keep going - even if it's only for a short time your first few visits. She'll have her energy level back up in no time! I love my job - it's been a tough first few years of business. But you never leave the gym in a bad mood! Have a great day! Sharron
