Well into week 7 of Bootcamp and I thought I would be deep into the workouts, but sometimes plans change.

I had some minor surgery last Wednesday and figured I would only miss one workouts. I was so wrong. I ended up not being able to workout until this morning because of my doctors orders. After having some complications and dealing with an infection I was told I needed to back off and take it easy. That doesn’t mean that I did nothing all week, I was extra careful in my eats and took the dogs for walks a few times.

I did 30 minutes of slower cardio and a short weight workout, my goal is to be back on Bootcamp workouts by Sunday.

Tips on taking a break:

• Go for short slow walks just to feel like you are moving and staying active
• Take the days off as an opportunity to focus on eating healthy foods
• Just take  a week off, sometimes your body just needs the rest
• When you start working out again take it easy and slowly work back up to the level you were at. You don’t want to burn out!

Any tips on taking breaks?
