Lesson #27 - Vacation = Reset Time
As you all know Iāve just come back from holiday ā and Iāve come back with some freshly confirmed insights, knowledge, and feelings about what vacations really mean for your healthy & fitness - both physically and mentally. Hereās the truth: vacations are a reset button. YOU decide how disciplined you want to be (not just on my program, but moving forward now throughout your life). The main problem people face when they go away but want to stay in shape is they get flustered... they want to continue being fit and eating healthy but want to also let their hair down, relax, endulge and actually enjoy their holiday - So what tends to happen is people attempt to go all-in on restriction, but then treat themselves and then guilt-trip themselves into some half-hearted workout to āmake up for it.ā and then nominating 1 day for a water fast, or some other random restrictive rule... Which of course all achieves nothing except frustration and regret that you didnāt actually enjoy your time away but also didn't really get in shape either. Thatās why I follow my 3 R principle (I made a video on it, link in commentsš): - RISE ā fuel your day with a hearty breakfast. - REFRESH ā grab a light snack during the day. - REWARD ā enjoy a proper evening meal. Take in the culture, the cuisine, and spoil yourself a little. Your secret weapon? Steps. Walk more, explore, soak up the sights. And if you feel like it, throw in the odd workout or focus on stretches ā theyāre lighter but just as valuable as strength training. And hey, if you want to track everything and stick to the plan like an absolute boss ā go for it. Iāve had clients do this while away and crush it. The key is this: take control your way⦠but TAKE CONTROL.
