Exercise Rest

Diana123 Posts: 135 Joined: 2003/02/03	2003/06/17, 05:23 AM Hi! I have been actively exercising for around 3 years, meaning cardio and weight training 3-4 times a week. I am going on a three-week vacation soon, and am wondering if I should just not do any exercise during this time to give my body a chance to regenerate, or would that be a bad idea?

You can always run, swim, walk or do some small exercises as crunches and push ups. Your vaction will still be a rest for your body since you'll be exercising a lot less. Have fun!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

I wan not planning on sitting all day or anything, but I just won't have a chance to go to a gym so I thought maybe I'll just stick to push-ups, crunches, and some light cardio. I hope I won't get too lazy!! ;) Thanks!!
