When I say missed a workout, that doesn’t include recovery days. I mean if you routinely workout 3 times a week, what’s the longest you’ve gone without missing one of your 3 workouts in a week.

3 years after I got married. I got a bit chubby from not only ceasing to work out completely but also dining out with my wife all the time. She called it "happy fat".

I ended up getting a wake-up call to lose it though once I passed by a pull-up bar one day and discovered I struggled just to do 2 sloppy pull-ups. Then I cleaned up everything, stopped dining out so much, and trained like a maniac. Ended up losing ~35lbs in 6 weeks.

After that, I've never gone too long without working out; a couple of weeks at most.

I once did 2 months of going to gym every day. Was tough by the end.
Never really had a fixed routine otherwise, would just go to gym 3 or 4 times a week as and when I could.

I worked out every single day for two whole months during the Summer when I was 16 and I lost SO much weight. I almost finally had a flat stomach like I've always wanted. Then I got depressed again and lost all that muscle gain and can't do a whole week of exercise, let alone 3 days. I just can't find pleasure or joy in anything I used to seriously love anymore. What is wrong with me? Lmao.

Two years probably. Even when I’m I’ll I workout 5 days a week and two days for recovery.


Only reason then for missing working out was I broke my jaw pretty badly and 8 teeth and had to get surgery and any gym excersise would put a lot of pressure on that area so didn’t want to risk long term health issues which is really tough and led me to be quite depressed

[muscularbumblebee]

Two years a go* I mean not for two years lol. But had to take 6 months off just to clarify

[melanieeeB]

Daaamn probably years haha
Like I did gymnastics for 4 years in a row, that's that
Or I was actively in the gym from mid 2016 until July 2019 ... that's already like 3 years for that

[melanieeeB]

I'm not including days that I was sick, but I still worked out when I was feeling not so good and I know I didn't miss any day when I did gymnastics, cause I wanted the competitions to be good lol

[exitseven]

I am pretty sure that I have always taken at least one day off a week. Even when I was training hard I would do my long run on Sunday and tale Monday off. I will say 6 days.

RE Update. Back when I was training for marathons I probably had gone maybe three months without missing a workout. Some workouts were better than others.

[libsaretards]

2 years. My neck and back were injured in a car accident in 2018. Even when I resumed workouts, I have not been very consistent.

[LilyByte]

about 2-3 months i hope i can break that record soon tho

[whiskeyontherocks]

Missed shit I keep adding to them. But I hate myself so probably not for the right reason

[Babygirl_S]

One month. I don't like rest days because my morning doesn't feel right.

[Babygirl_S]

In response to your update:I actually worked out for one month without any rest days because I like it that way.
