Holidays are usually a time for relaxation and spending quality time with loved ones. However, many have the dilemma of whether to stick to their usual training regime on holiday or just take the break.
Personally, I prefer to train on holiday because daily movement is part of my daily ‘non-negotiables’. It helps me start my day productively and inclines me to make better decisions with nutrition and lifestyle habits throughout the day!
When deciding whether to train on holiday, it’s essential to strike a balance that aligns with your goals, preferences and nature of your vacation.
Some may find solace in maintaining their routine to manage stress and sustain progress, while others may prioritize rest to enjoy relaxation and avoid burnout. Ultimately, the decision you make should be driven by what brings you joy, allows you to enjoy your holiday to the fullest and return home feeling refreshed and ready to get back to your usual routine!
