To pick or not to pick, that is the question. An age old question that dates back as long there has been exercise and people following written programs. Choosing when and what workouts to do is a luxury that we all have. Whether or not you are aware; you may tend to skip days that do not look interesting, too easy or forbid, too hard.  What does this do?

Who knows!
Until you have performance based goals, honestly it does not change much but it could be hindering your gains. So next time you choose to skip the gym because of a feeling or a fear, ask yourself, should I really be avoiding these movements.
