Question Taking time off...?

I am going to be out of the country for about 2 months, and I will not have access to a gym during this time.

I don’t want to loose everything I have gained in the last year. Is there any advice that you can offer so that I may maintain my mass and strength during this time?

You can always try taking some video tapes or watch some and learn some moves or even do walking or jogging is good. There are always ways if the gym is not availble.

When you go to the gym, do you lift or is it primarily cardio? Cardio is easy. Bring running shoes and a jump rope. Maintaining muscle requires a little more creativity. Resistance bands can be helpful and require very little luggage space. Pushups, pullups on door jambs, dips with chairs, use gallons of water as weights, crunches, weighted squats, that sort of thing. And even though planning meals can be a lot harder away from home, make sure you're eating enough protein. Good luck!

Yes, when I go to the gym it is for weight training. I can do cardio wherever. The suggestions above should help out a bit. Thanks.

I wouldnt think you will loose any muscle that you've gained in just 2 months. I know people that haven't worked out for years, and are still the same size, and have the same definition they had when they did lift.
