Last month during Oktoberfest in Munich, I was chatting with a 50-something-year old woman (from the U.S. of A) who was concerned about her traveling workouts.
Apparently, she usually hit the gym 6-7 days per week and felt out of sorts only getting a few workouts in while spending several weeks abroad. Tis a common concern for those who are in a well-grooved workout routine. Whenever they go on vacation, they fear will lose muscle… gain all their weight back… or have to start all over again. Having recently taken a two week break from lifting weights (while in Switzerland & Germany), here’s what I noticed:
These may not apply directly to you but the point is: If you were still physically active and didn’t blow it completely on nutrition… One to two weeks off won’t erase months of progress. You aren’t starting over. You aren’t back to square one. You don’t have to play catch up. Just resume your routine. And you’ll get back in momentum sooner than you think.
