"Anne - how on earth am I going to keep motivated while you are away? I am used to our schedule and am worried that I will fall off track when you leave"
Thank you for that question! Having you ask it shows me how much you desire to stay on the right track. I will share my tricks for keeping active on my own.
i) schedule in your workouts: put them in your calendar, just like you would if you were coming out to a class. Plan when/what/where you will workout and include that in your calendar entry. Fitness video, walk with friends, no matter what you plan, write it down and follow through. "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail"
ii) get together with friends: include workout buddies in your plans - having someone else to work out with will both motivate you to follow through with your workout, but also will make the time pass more quickly and be more fun!
iii) listen objectively to your body: if you are not currently training for a goal (ie/weight loss, etc) then maybe your body could use a little break. Check in with yourself, and see if that body could use a little rest. Enjoy a few recovery days and then get back on track with your scheduled workouts.
iv) try something new: grab a different style of workout video or try a new form of fitness/sport. Sometimes a change is as good as a rest. Try yoga, play baseball with friends, go swimming....switch it up! Our bodies like surprises and it's good for our minds too!
v) get out to Zumba!: our Zumba classes are still running! Getting out and staying in routine will help keep you going the other days of the week.
Remember - no matter what methods you use, you can totally stay on track while I am on vacation. And it will be worth the effort.
