Vacation workout?

julio · 05-26-2004, 08:50 AM

hey guys and gals ,i will be on vacation for two weeks away from the gym in florida,,and what is the best way to go about staying on a plan? without hitting the gym?

I read that taking a week or 2 off per year is a good thing. Obviously stay clean with your diet but give the weights a rest. When you get back from vacation your muscles will get a good shock plus you will be pumped and ready to hit it again after taking a break.

had the same thought as bulletproof, i agree that too

vacation is a vacation. don't think about work, don't think about the gym. eat clean when you can, but don't worry about indulging a few times. it's only 2 weeks, you can recover from this very quickly, and as bp mentioned, it might actually be a good thing.... physically and mentally.

What if you enjoy the gym like I do? lol

But seriously just take a week or 2 off. If you need to workout do like pushups, situps, and pull ups. Just something to get your body working. Swimming, playing sports all works to. But if you can just take the time off and relaxe your body will luv ya heh.

I went on a vacation for 7 weeks, so I had to do something. This is basically what I did, and I didn't really lose any strength by the time I came back. 3-4 days a week I jogged. As well, 3-4 days a week I did pushups, squats, ab exercises, and a few different exercises with some 15 pound dumbells I lugged in a backpack.

I once had to go on a surprise vacation just a week after I took a week off from training. So I had no choice to workout....I found a bunch of little 10&15lb DB's and just tied em together heh. I did all my lifts by either holding all the little dumbells or using heavier things in the area that I could find followed by cardio and some sports. I lost no strength but I didn't gai any either.

if it's a vacation forget working-out.

bulletproof1 · 05-27-2004, 10:34 AM

what about protein, glutamine, etc? continue taking those during the vacation week or no?

**Prince** · 05-27-2004, 10:36 AM

in my opinion, no.

it's a vacation you should enjoy yourself and forget about all of that, just eat and have fun.

I usually continue my suppliments if I can..but if its to much of a hassel and a pain in the ass don't worry about it. Just take a break and enjoy yourself!!

Here is the workout routine I would suggest:

Day 1:
8 x 12oz Beers
1 x 38DD Blonde

Day 2:
10 x 8oz Margaritas
2 Bronze Beauties Until Failure

Rest

Repeat
