Your car would not run very well on unclean fuel nor would it be able to get you where you need to go if the tank is on "E." I liken this scenario to the human body. It must be replenished with proper nourishment after it has been broken down due to physical activity. So why would you want to knowingly sabotage all of your well-intentioned efforts in the gym by not fueling up afterward? Perhaps he or she is uninformed or deliberately neglecting exercise regimes. I posit that it seems relatively easier to throw some dumbbells around in the gym but it takes a more concerted effort when paying attention to the proper fuel consumption and when to execute your meals.

Most, if not all, free time for a workout is often stolen to tend to academic pursuits. Please be careful and resist the urge to call a complete seasonal intermission to your exercise routine. Easier said than done? I would agree, but here are some pretty convincing thoughts to help you make the right decision at that moment in the week when you know it's time for a workout despite work that may be looming.
