To not feel guilty about going to the gym

I'm a big gym goer! I go at least three times a week, either classes or treadmill/ cross trainer/free weights. It's part of my life now and I've been a member of my gym for 3 years. Most of the time I love it and it's kept my weight stable, kept me sane and I've made new friends through it!

But why do I feel so guilty when I don't go?

I work full time (teacher in Reception) and today I don't feel well, headachey and sore throat - nothing major but not up to an hour at the gym.

Sitting here feeling so bad for not going. Any other gym MNetters feel the same?

You really shouldn't feel guilty at all! Rest and recovery are just as important to fitness gains as the actual training. If you stress your already ill body by going to the gym it'll take longer for you to get better so just enjoy the break from the routine and you'll find you'll love returning to the gym when you're ready to get back there. Get better soon!
