Getting Sick Before Vacation
August 19th, 2010

After sifting through the choices and some strategic thinking, I decided on my active travel challenge – a Yoga Bike Tour through Provence by DuVine Touring – and wrote a blog describing my reasons for choosing this particular tour. coque iphone xs max fjallraven kanken mini backpack brown Upon posting that blog I was, and still am, very excited about taking this challenge and training for it. Just as I was ready to start putting on the miles and getting back into yoga, I got sick. Murphy’s Law, right? Unfortunately, I’ve now been pretty badly under the weather for three weeks, and every time I try to get back into it, I start to feel worse. Cheap Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys booette custodia iphone mini pro max 12 ret8012 I often think that if I’m just slightly not feeling well a good workout will “knock it out of me”. fjallraven kanken classic backpack frost green Sometimes this actually works. cover custodia case iphone 11 P2383 botw wallpaper 8mK3 If you’re just feeling lethargic or down or maybe sore because you’ve not been working out out as much, a good adrenaline inducing workout can be just the thing to get you going again. fjallraven kanken classic backpack air blue However, if it’s a bad sinus infection, or a stomach bug, or something worse like the flu, I do not recommend a workout, particularly a strenuous one.

No one likes to hear you hacking away or sneezing on the elliptical next to them). This got me thinking about two troubles that could arrive with an active vacation – one in the pre-travel training, and one while on the road. The first will be the topic of this blog, the second of the following blog. fjallraven kanken mini backpack estate blue cover iphone 11 kurama What do you do when something happens like what has just happened to me – you’re going along great in your training or eager to start and wham, you get sick enough that you can’t train for a while? Here are some basic, but very important tips:

• As I mentioned before, let yourself heal and don’t rush back before you’re body is ready. coque iphone 6 6s If you do, it could take you much longer to recover than if you had just waited another couple of days. surface pro custodia iphone x tyui13793 You could also risk injury from feeling weak or dehydrated.

• While you want to allow yourself to heal, don’t give yourself permission to stall. fjallraven kanken classic backpack estate blue When you do feel better, start planning out your workouts again.

• Check with your doctor. mygodjersey.com If you’ve been under doctor’s care, ask them about working out and any particular restrictions.

• Start back slow. You may not even be able to start back where you left off, especially if you’re at a more advanced stage of training. You may have to start back just a few minutes at a time.

• Give yourself time to rest in between workouts. cover iphone 5 versace 948uom iphone 8 leather cover apple 021dbs You don’t have to go back 5 days a week. Start with every other day, or three days the first week. However, give yourself enough to keep the momentum going. Camisetas Futboles hombres cheap adidas nmd If you do just one day a week, it’s tough to get back into a regular pattern. (This does not apply to severe illness, if you’ve been out for a couple of months due to illness, for instance, one day per week might be all you can or are allowed to do).

• Plan out your workouts. Nothing makes it easier to get off course then just “fitting it in when you can”. While you may have to use this strategy in particular unique circumstances, you want to get back to a training schedule to get your momentum going again.

• If you feel yourself getting worse, ease up. cover custodia case iphone 11 L1988 futuristic wallpaper 22pV8 You might have pushed yourself too quickly.

• Use common sense. cover custodia case iphone 11 U4596 dark wallpaper 15nF6 If you’ve had a stomach bug, an activity that jostles or focuses primarily on your stomach probably isn’t the best idea. coque iphone 7 8 se2020 So forego the running and stomach crunches for a week or so and choose something calmer such as the recumbent bike. cover custodia case iphone 11 E4418 breath of the wild wallpaper 9xG0 It might not be the activity you are training for in the long term, but it gets you back into working out without as much chance of illness relapse.
