Dreaming of sun, sand, and relaxation? We get it. But what about your fitness goals? The holiday season often presents a unique challenge: balancing the desire to unwind with the dedication to your training routine. Will a short break derail your progress? How much fitness do you actually lose, and how quickly can you regain it?
At Sundried, we believe your holiday should enhance, not hinder, your well-being. That's why we've put together an evidence-based guide to help you navigate fitness on holiday. We'll demystify the impact of short breaks, offering practical strategies to maintain your gains and ensure efficient recovery.
Forget the guilt and the "all or nothing" mindset. Our comprehensive report, available on the Sundried blog, dives into the science of "detraining," explaining what happens to your body when you take a break from exercise. You'll discover how quickly different fitness components decline (and how resilient muscle strength truly is!). More importantly, we reveal the remarkable power of muscle memory, showing you just how fast you can bounce back to your previous fitness levels.
Whether you're planning a complete rest or looking to integrate some active exploration, our guide provides actionable tips. Learn about flexible movement plans, creative activity integration, and "minimal effort" strategies to keep you moving. We also cover crucial aspects like the importance of tendon elasticity when returning to training, helping you avoid injury and maximize your comeback.
