The biggest surprise that individuals have when they come home from holidays is their first measurement immediately after returning home.
Depending on what type of holiday they have had, the measurements across the range can vary wildly!
Someone who has drunk alcohol every night on their trip and eaten heavily will be the worst offenders and their first measurement usually shocks them!
Blood pressure is usually way up!
Their resting heart rate is usually way up!
They usually put 2-3 inches on their waist and hips.
They usually add 2-4% body fat which is a significant number!
Their energy levels have vanished and show no signs of returning.
Their motivation is at an all-time low.
Their start back to exercising again is usually delayed by a series of minor excuses.
So you can a two week holiday of this kind of indulgence can have a serious effect on one’s ability to get back to where you were before the holiday!
It’s up to you what kind of holiday you want but beware the consequences of constantly overdoing it EVERY night on holiday. The best advice is to get straight away into it, take your time the first week back especially, and within 2-3 weeks, you will soon be feeling yourself once again!!
This shows the benefits of measurements too! If you weren’t constantly checked, you wouldn’t know the damage caused internally, as well as how you look in the mirror of course compared to when you went away!
