We’re winding down on our final days of vacation at the lake.

When we left, I carefully packed the truck with 5 kettlebells, a weight vest, two foam rollers, 5 bands and 3 different types of mobility balls.

I didn’t use any of it. Not once.

I had visions of myself doing kettlebell swings in the sun after an early morning run. The runs happened, but never the kettlebell workouts.

You might have had a similar experience. Planning to hit the hotel gym, packing kettlebells that don’t get used. Whatever it is. It happens, and isn’t a big deal. What is important is getting back to your routine once vacation is over.

A week off from weights won’t disrupt the grand scheme of your training. But a week slipping into a month is where trouble arises.
