Exercising on Holiday At long last, it’s here…your summer holiday! You’ve worked hard, saved, planned and now it’s finally arrived. You plan to take full advantage of the time off and lie around the pool, or laze on the beach while sipping some fruity adult beverages and do absolutely nothing…right? Wrong! While taking a holiday is quite arguably vital for your mental well being, taking an exercise holiday is an overall bad idea and can in fact be hazardous to your health. The sad reality is, your body doesn’t take a break and you know the old adage, if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.
