Here is a question I hear all the time.
Should I try a workout routine while away on vacation?
Well here is my take, for what it is worth.
Are you going away for a week, month, or a summer? That is important!
To all my friends traveling for a week or less..HELL NO! You work hard, you deserve a break. Go, enjoy what life has to offer! (Spoken from someone who knows!)
We just returned from a 5 day trip to Mexico, and let me tell you, it was worth every extra calorie, and non rep! Give the mind and body a chance to take a break!
However, keep in mind when you return, it is time to detox, and get back on that horse again!
If you do plan on going away for a longer period of time, then you must have a back up routine planned. Bring some resistance bands, dumb bells, exerballs, kettle bells on your trip! They can travel well. Even check into a health club close by that may honor your existing memberships from clubs where you live.
Either way, you need to be smart about fitness and your health! Take a moment to enjoy your down time! Focus on your mental health, as much as your physical health! Life is short so LIVE IT! And stay healthy!
