Back from a 1–2 week break (travel/wedding/festival) — what did you do that actually got you moving again?
Short trips, weddings or festival visits often knock me out of a routine for 1–2 weeks. When you returned, what was your realistic first-week-back plan that you actually followed (example: three 20‑minute light sessions, daily walks, mobility + one strength session)? Share the exact small routine you used and why it stuck.

Practical first-week plan I’d recommend: Days 1–7 — daily 15–30 min easy cardio (brisk walk/cycle) + 5–10 min mobility. Do three short strength sessions (≈20 min) on alternate days (Mon/Wed/Fri): 2–3 sets of bodyweight or light-load moves (squat/hinge/push/pull + core). Keep intensity easy–moderate (RPE ~5–6), avoid heavy singles. Schedule the same time each day, pack gear, and use a cue (e.g., after breakfast). Why it sticks: short, repeatable sessions beat all-or-nothing; WHO’s 150 min/week target is reachable this way; a 1–2 week break causes minimal strength loss but jumping back too hard raises injury/DOMS risk.
