Because I have a job in public safety. Sometimes something happens and suddenly I am asked to stay at work for 3 days straight or get deployed and I am away from home for 4-7 days. I can usually meet weekly or monthly fitness goals. But I can’t nail down the exact day that I can do a workout ahead of time. I will be sure to ask mother nature to schedule her hurricanes and wildfires so that I can stick to my training plan.
When I get back I just want to pick-up where I left off. I don’t want to start scrolling back and figuring out how many days ago my last workout was or if I squeezed in an outdoor ride. I just want to get on the trainer and do work.
