Why You Should Not Workout on Vacation

💛💚💙💜

You are headed out on ⛱️🏖️⛱️#VACATION with great intentions of keeping up your workouts while you are away.


But what if you have great intentions and then you fail😞?


Did you set yourself up for ☺️success or a big plummet 🛷off the routine you have so carefully developed?


Should you feel guilty or should you set your self up by deciding ahead of time that you are going to take a break or change the type of exercise you do




Personally, I always workout on vacation. But that’s me. When I don’t workout, I get grumpy 😡& everyone around me notices. I just don’t feel the same-my energy goes down & don’t sleep as well nor do I get that feeling I get every morning after I work out. So, for me not exercising does not work!


BUT I am not saying everyone feels this way-some people love having a guilt free break💛💚💙💜 and honestly it may make sense for you to REST and RECOVER


Some people train so hard on a regular basis that their body needs a workout break-


Take my daughter who is a competitive 🤸‍♀️gymnast. They train 4 hours per day. And right now…during #Summer training they are working the kids so hard that even she feels sore. So yep, I let her play on her ipad when we are away as I know that her body needs to recover


Now there could be 👉REAL RISKS👈 to losing your routine if you have only been keeping your routine going for a short period of time. If it’s new and not well ingrained you may not want to chance changing it just yet. But you could change the type of activity you are doing and just make sure your routine stays in place


Pros:

👉Opportunity to try different types of exercise or change things up

👉Can offset effects of extra eating

👉Can do fun #Outdooractivities

👉Offers your body a chance to recover after a sustained period of #intenseworkouts

👉Allows for the opportunity to return to the routine with fresh motivation


Cons:

👉Could be hard to get back to #routine especially if your routine is newly established

👉Extended inactivity can lead to lost gains and reduced endurance

👉Could result in more weight gain
