Don't feel like working out?

Here's what I do on "slow days" where I don't feel like doing a workout.

My rule of thumb: Do at least 5-10 minutes of the workout UNLESS I'm so exhausted I think it'll make me sick or injured.

However, a more important question I think we should start asking ourselves is WHY we have these "slow days."

If you routinely have long periods where you feel tired, you may want to look into some causes.

How is your diet? Is it balanced? Are there things you can change to get your required nutrients?

Are you getting enough sleep? 7-8 hours at least for the vast majority of people. If you are, how is your sleep quality?

While some may point to mental health issues - and they're certainly a valid cause - our lifestyle may be a contributing cause to that as well.

Everyone should look into optimizing their lifestyle a bit. There's no downside to it.

Sometimes everything is fine, but our work is boring. If you've been stuck on the same routine for a while, try changing it up! What have you wanted to learn? Anything from backflips to tennis can be explored.

Just some thoughts! Hope that helps!

I have never seen a single clip or photo of Hampton flexing his muscles and showing how strong he is-
Yet that leads me to believe he’s incredibly strong

I've seen a few vids of yours here and there and I gotta say, you are just such a breath of fresh air. There's not an ounce of arrogance or showmanship about you, you're 100% genuine. And what's more is your advice is both realistically achievable and insightful for the average person.

You're really quite great at what you do

My motto for the last 4 years has been “if i move I win!” Meaning, that if I do any movement at all on the days where I don’t feel like it (go for a walk, stretch, etc) then I won that day. This has helped me stay consistent in exercising/moving daily for the past 4 years. Not every day has to be perfect. Just keep moving. Hope this helps someone!

I'm convinced he's just a de-aged Yoda.

"I'm a strong believer in the idea that if all the pieces are in place, we should want to move"

I never thought about it this way. I just wish I knew which pieces aren't in place.

This guy is probably the most positive guy Ive ever seen on the Internet. We need more people like him.

Damn bro, you’re an amazing motivational speaker. You’re talking to me as if I work out, and I appreciate that.

CHECK YOUR MENTAL HEALTH AS WELL. A lot of the times when I feel unmotivated to workout, although I've made sure i had proper nutrition and rest, it was usually because I'd been in a depressed rut for a couple of days and it had to take some work to get out of that mental fog. Journalling helps figuring out how I got there and making peace with habits, as well as point out what not to do in the future.

There's a ton of other actions you can take to overcome your depressive rut as well, that's just how I usually do it. Point is, don't beat yourself up too hard if you haven't been working out because you've been feeling like shit for a few days.

You seem like such a genuinely nice guy. Everyone following you knows this, but i just feel like saying it today. Thank you for being such a beautiful light in the world.

[johnlevin]

Thanks Hampton, I’m gonna workout now. I appreciate you brother

[caleblebaron]

i say this to myself "when you want to do it the least, its when you need to do it the most" but that doesn't work for everyone so that's great advice, thanks.

"Is there any way you could improve your sleep"

Yes. Actually getting some

[ulisesr]

This video came up while I was mindlessly scrolling through YouTube shorts instead of working out. I really did consciously choose to skip the gym today. At the very least I’m going on a jog now. Thank you for everything you do brother Hampton 💛

Been watching this kid over the last year. What a nice kid! Always cheers up.

You are a huge inspiration to me big dawg. Getting people to enjoy fitness and encouraging wellness and happiness has been such an important value to me! I'm not necessarily the best teacher, but those that really appreciate my efforts make me want to try even harder for myself and others. Your videos really get my brain turning.
