If you're on vacation
Skipping your workout to relax on the beach isn't something to feel guilty about. In fact, research shows that you can actually lose weight on vacation due to lower stress levels and intuitive eating.
Diet aside, Fried noted that not all fitness professionals would agree with taking time off from the gym for your vacation or a holiday.
"When your choices are 'spend time with family' or 'hit the weights for a few hours', you don't need to choose the latter," she said. Fried also suggested asking yourself if you'd regret missing an experience to workout instead.
"If the answer is yes, remind yourself that the gym will always be there, but this experience may not," she said. She also mentioned that you could find other ways to be active that don't detract from time spent with loved ones or a once in a lifetime opportunity. Walking, swimming, and dancing are simple ways to get your heart rate up and break a sweat.
