Going on vacation, What do I do?

vitalichka Posts: 21 Joined: 2003/12/21	2003/12/22, 12:21 AM I have a question regarding an exercise plan that I have just created via FT. I am going to be doing the "Gain Muscle Mass Training" and it will start on December 22 and will continue to February 16 of next year. I have a question about week three. Week three starts on Jan. 5 and continues untill Jan. 11. On january 6 I will be leaving on a vacation and will be coming back on the 12. This would null week three in my eight week program. What do I do? I will not be able to go to the gym on the 12th as I will just be ariving from my vacation and it will be late. The following day seems to be more appropriate but that would be week four and would hinder the program even further. Because of the fact that I am leaving on the 6th, I don't want to leave my training because of the few days that are ahead of me. But then again Christmas and Newyear working hours could limit my options. Please tell me what would be the best thing to do.

Go ahead and pull the program up and work the parts of the plan that you can just don't fill anything in. About the only thing that should affect is the weight you will be using and reps performed. Don't waste the days before you leave. Working out is working out. Go on vacation, have fun, enjoy the holidays. Watch your diet though. But when you get back get busy. Good Luck.
