Missing a day in the gym...

[Oblivion02]

This week is thanksgiving, and I dont have class all week. I go to a community gym. And it will be closed on MONDAY and Thursday... So what shuld I do? My routine was usually Monday,Wednesday and Friday. I have a set of 25 pound dumbells here, but i lift wayy more. So what should I do? Just use them to do whatever I can? Then continue normally wednesday and friday? Thanks in advance!

1 extra day off isnt' going to make much difference. You don't have to go on Monday. Just eat clean

Should I do some light cardio? Or just eat nice and clean?

Do something you nomally wouldn't do. Go outside and run, see how many pushups or jumping squats you can do, jump rope, learn how to do some new movement, like one-legged squats, etc. Use your imagination.

or you could just day off, sometimes a days extra rest is way more beneficial then acctually working out imo

I'm taking a full week off, one day won't hurt, no worries. If you haven't taken a week off in a while (more than 2-3 months) you should do it soon anyway.

if u worked hard for a month or so it would hurt to take a week of rest build muscles

^^That's why AJP said after 3 months or so, you need a week or so break.

one extra day out of the gym wont make you scrawny and weak when its just on a rare occation, like this holiday.

consistency is the key but one day is nothing to worry about

 

[xtonymarsx]

Also, depending on how long you've been working out...it's good to take a week off every 3 or 4 months to give your body a good rest.
