Keep working out - 2 week holiday

67fastback · 07-19-2007, 02:54 PM

We are going away for two weeks, to an all inclusive type of resort. I assume they will have some sort of a gym there.

Cardio I don't really care about, I'll be busy doing other beach activities etc.

What strategies do you use for keeping lifting/strength on track when you are away? What days, time of day, how often?

My suggestion is to have fun and spend some quality time with your family and or friends. The gym will be there when you get home. Enjoy!

I do mainly cardio on those types of excursions...really a team activity.

Excellent choice of cardio!

This is a very important phase of your weightlifting program. I believe the HST guys call it "strategic deconditioning". You take two weeks off, then when you get back to the gym your body will have to adapt all over again to this new stimulus and you will grow huge! It works out perfectly!

Strategic deconditioning, yep, that's what you are doing.

Every body needs time off from their workouts once in a while, to give your body a chance to recover and heal, your on vacation, enjoy yourself.

Excellent idea - it's a resort getaway vacation, I'm sure you can find some sort of cardio "team activity" to keep you busy. Wink wink.
