What's the longest amount of time you've taken off from working out?

[Puppylove94]

I'm going on 2 days rn and I feel sooo lazy. I honestly can't even remember the last time I took more than 1 day off.

The longest I've ever taken was 5 days when I was on vacation.

A couple days

A week

A few weeks

A month

I don't work out

[Levin]

Depends what one considers working out. Unless I'm pretty much dead, I'll walk for at least two hours a day, and do 20 minutes of standing meditation. I usually alternative by doing something more strenuous one day, less so the next, etc. But when I have an injury or I know I need to rest something, or when I want to progress on something (such as pullups), that's when I get really pissed off and impatient :D

[Octavius]

One week. Yeah I know how you feel. It also feels like you're getting weaker. But I've learned that's all in the head because I can come back from a week of just sitting around and still lift the same amount before I took a break. I think it takes a little longer before you start losing your progress.

[rgb008]

Like a week or so.
Why? Tbh I can't even really tell you why. Sometimes when I was at school i would just get in a rut and not even wanna get out of bed or go to class. Obviously, that meant I barely worked out. just a lot of stress and sadness and feeling lonely and it just got to me.
Got my shit together soon after lol

[Puppylove94]

Holy shit I just had a few days like that!! Skipped class Thursday literally for no reason at all. I've been down too but isk why.. It's weird

[rgb008]

Yeah, those days suck :/
School just messes with your head I guess lmao

[Jxpxtxr]

I travel a lot so whenever I'm traveling I usually don't exercise, it's usually between weeks then but I also walk more when I'm travelling so I suppose my calorie deficit stays the same.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

hard to say Iv taken over a year off from going to the gym but i do a few different kinds of enhanced push ups and things like pistols and plank its when i feel like it rather than a training schedule though also things like splitting wood emptying the gutters and moving furniture so my fitness remains ok even if it's declined a bit.

[abw121290]

I've taken 2 weeks off and usually do each year at the end of December, but I have logged in from home to check e-mails and do a little work.

[abw121290]

Oh geez... I misread the question. Sorry!

The longest I've gone without working out is 1 day

[Puppylove94]

No no no haha working out

[jjesica346]

Funny you ask that, as I keep saying tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow and now its been almost two weeks. I'm stick in a rut. The damn internet is making me lazy!!

[Puppylove94]

Are you really 46? You look way younger

[jjesica346]

Stuck

[jjesica346]

Yep, my bday was last Saturday. I didn't mind turning 45, but 46 bothers the f*** out of me because its close to 50!!

[cavmanier]

You do look younger than 46

[jjesica346]

@cavmanier thanks!

[Xfitchick]

If you don't work out for a few days, even a week, don't worry. After that you will feel an intense energy because your body fully recovered. And if on holiday, you can always do some things even without a gym. I wrote a myTake about it.

[akadatank44]

Currently it's been a week die to injury. But technically I didn't stop working out completely.

[Puppylove94]

What happened?

[akadatank44]

Tendonitis in my foot. So I'm not doing high impact stuff.

[Puppylove94]

Ahh that sucks. I'm sorry. Hope it heals fast!

[akadatank44]

Thanks!

[teawrecks]

I go through bouts where I run 3-5 days a week for like a month or so and then I stop running for a couple weeks to a month.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

[martyfellow]

I had surgery and was forced take off a month... still getting back in shape now!
I really missed working out. I hated feeling flabby!

[Lyndsielee666]

I'm not allowed to work out anymore because of my eating disorder so it's been about... 5 years since I stopped working out and training. It's shitty

[Elkindtg]

It was two weeks due to an injury I got. After that I went back to the gym and did some exercises to strengthen the injured muscle and everything was fine =)

[aeblalock]

My whole life.

I am a very active person so I think of that as my "exercise".

[dpg91]

Had to take six weeks off from the gym when I had surgery last year. It was quite frustrating.

[lightbulb27]

had surgery, off for few months. love working out..

[zorro8888]

About 2 weeks, but it was because of an injury... I felt so lazy not doing anything lol

[blutwolfe]

used to workout all the time, but now I got a physical labor job and literally gassed most days, wish I could workout lol

[TiffyPuff]

I just started getting tendonitis in my elbows, so I'm not allowed to exercise for like 6 weeks :/

[Summer_Bunny]

Umm I stopped working out for a long time... I was really depressed. Now that I'm working on myself and trying to better myself I can't go more than one day I feel weird.

[Wulfila]

I don't exercise, because I'm too lazy. I keep my weight down through healthy diet, which works rather well for me.

[ideklmao]

I've been working our for 3 months and to be honest I feel much happier and have more confidence.. and my condition is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. I dont even have cramps in my stomach after running

[Svengodofman]

Probably only a week or two. But now I'm starting to jog every morning, and my diet has changed drastically, so I should be back to my old self soon.

[AlwaysBelieving]

A few weeks. Either because I was sick or on vacation
