Do you train while on vacation?
« on: September 01, 2009, 06:51:03 AM »
You go out of town for a week or two on holiday.  Do you plan ahead and find a local gym where you can train while you are away?  Does the urge to train hit you while you are away and you make your way to the hotel fitness center or a nearby gym?  Does your spouse think you are silly for training while on holiday?  Or do you damn the work out for a week or two and enjoy your vacation? ???

I always think I'm gonna do some kind of 'fitnessy' thing while on vacation, but when the stewardess comes around with my G&Ts I know I was just lying to myself. I can live with that.  :)

I don't train.

What I do though, is stretch each morning (sometimes in the evening too) and aim to do some light exercise (walking, swimming, a hike) each day. I also try to get a few massages in, and I eat pretty much whatever I want. I see vacations as a great time to recouperate, as when I am not vacationing, I am training real hard.

A related question to yours though, is for people on a cycle, do you modify it when on vacation.

PS - (and no gay jokes please), but I sometimes take a "broomstick" (wooden bar) with me. This is quite common for Olympic lifters to do, to practice lift motions as part of the stretching process and maintain flexibilty.

being in a hotel room with wife and kid for 3-4 days straight can be stressful.

being able to spend 30 minutes goofing off on the hotel machines is nice.

I travel a lot. I train when I travel.

It's not that I'm so afraid of losing muscle, as much as I like the release (of cortisol, stress, etc.)

I also like going to different gyms and hoping to meet a true Getbigger...  ;D


So, I walk into a new gym and say: "Any Getbiggers in here?".. and when I hear a big "FUCK YOU!"- I feel right at home.

No.
I just train really hard before the holiday and use the time as a break.
But I'll still try eat healthy though.
