Unpopular opinion: blowing off steam at the gym right after work beats going home first, and I want to hear both sides
Last Tuesday I dragged myself straight from my desk in Denver to the gym at 5:30, and knocking out 3 sets of squats before I even sat down killed the whole day's stress. If I go home first, I'm on the couch in 10 minutes and never leave. Which one actually works better for you, straight there or decompress first?
That line about being on the couch in 10 minutes is way too real for me. What worked for me was keeping a packed gym bag in the car so there was no excuse to stop at home first, and even a quick 20 minute session right after work did more for my mood than an hour later in the night. Going straight there won it for me because once I sit down at home, the day is done.
