Is 2 weeks off gym too much?

What's the context?

I've had injures that required 2 weeks rest. Surgeries that require 3.

I've also had breaks of a year before returning.

It doesn't really matter how long you're away. Just that you return smart, without injuring yourself, and aim for consistency without injury.

I stopped gym for one week because of work and i am afraid it will require another one week that's why

[provokeesmokee]

Focus on work for now - can't go to the gym if you can't pay gym membership.

Look up body weight stuff to do at home if you crave the gym. Even 30 mins a few times a week can keep you from backsliding and make your return when work eases faster.

It's ok to focus on things outside the gym on occasion.

[WonderBell99]

I go to the gym every day, except on Sundays. I have never taken a 2 week break from working out, except when covid happened. It's better to go on runs if you don't want to go to the gym every day.

It depends on what you're trying to do and it depends on how far you fudged eating wise and what kind of liquid did you have if you can't make it to the gym go for a walk at a fast face for 30 minutes 30 minutes a day for 30 days you will not believe how tone you will get

If you're really beating up your balls in the gym most of the time then a good fucking break will benefit you.

As long as you are staying active other ways, a two week period away from the gym is no biggie.

[CoolCatMar1]

I trained some days ago so I did not reach 2 weeks haha

[noamazia]

I'm 3 years off the gym... i really should go again. but no, it's not too long.
the only advice I can give is, to make sure it doesn't become a habit, like mine.

[Nikki1989]

Not really, but it can make it harder to get your routine back again.

[Adam1978]

It's is if you want to keep the habit. Otherwise no.

[exitseven]

I hate taking that much time off from the gym. It will take you 2 weeks o get back into it again,

[Anonymous]

Kinda. Not a big deal but overall its good to be in some kind of exercise routine every day whether it's just a walk or the gym

[SunnyRS]

Yes, it is as your body grows accustomed to something and if you take a break of two weeks it just undoes the effort the body took to get in that regime

[jamesgoldman]

It depends, in general possibly, under medical advice that's just got to be followed

[soe11]

One week is sufficient for you, if you off two weeks then will difficult to restart.

[Rangers]

That's enough time to lose all progress that it took years to make, ask me how I know

[Malwi93]

exactly

[Andres77]

As long as you don’t eat pizza and drink beer three times a day

[AydenHazor]

2 weeks of will definitely hamper your progress, but you can always get back to it anytime

[Blueeyes81]

No but the longe you go without the harder it gets to go back to it.

[justabuddy]

It might be hard to get back into it after that long.

[alearningboy]

Yes but if you pick up you're old schema again you will be fit in now time.

[SnowedIn]

Nope but coming back will be difficult.

[itsalyssaagain]

I mean it happens 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Christoff92]

No. That's dedication 😊

[AnusNdaPainus]
