2 weeks off ?????


Quote  |  Reply

My treadmill broke and i will get a new in a week, but that means i wont have ran on it for about 2 weeks. Everyday I have been moderately pace walking around my hilly neighborhood for my workout. I was wondering if going 2 weeks with not intense workouts will cause me to gain what I lost and be bad for my health. What do you think ? Will 2 weeks of non-intense workouts be bad ?

I missed two weeks of regular workouts due to being really sick for one and then going on vacation for a week.   I lost 1.8 pounds in those two weeks.   I just made sure I didn't go over my calorie count and I did get some exercise in the form of walking.  Just becareful what you eat and you should be fine.

You don't need to be pounding a treadmill to be healthy.  Walking is excellent exercise and can be better for weight-loss than sporadic intensive work-outs.  When your new treadmill comes, keep in the hilly walks so that you keep the variety... and also that very valuable commodity, fresh air.
