#131: Training on Vacation: Stop, Switch, or Scale Back? (+ Tips for Coming Back After a Break)


Listen Later

Vacation season is here - and with the kids around and more fun things to do, you want to enjoy it all. But what should you do about strength training?

In this episode, I discuss your options:

1. Take a break from training

If you decide to take time off, I share tips for how to get back on track after your vacation ends - without guilt or overwhelm.

2. Scale back your workouts

Learn how to adjust your routine so you're still stimulating your muscles and maintaining momentum, even with a lighter schedule.

3. Train with resistance bands

If you’re traveling and don’t have access to weights, I explain how to use resistance bands to challenge your muscles effectively.

Whatever you do, remember that strength training is a long-term commitment, and learning to adapt your routine during life’s busy seasons is part of what makes it sustainable over the decades ahead.
