Festival season: do you pause training, scale it down, or stick to your routine?
During festival/wedding season many people face late nights, travel and rich meals. Do you pause workouts entirely, cut volume (shorter sessions/lighter weights), switch to walks/bodyweight, or try to keep your regular plan? Share what you actually do, why it works, and any small rules you follow so you don't lose momentum.

If you can’t keep full training, aim to preserve rather than progress. Practical maintenance: 2 full‑body resistance sessions/week (20–40 min) + 2–3 brisk walks or short aerobic sessions. On very busy days do 10–20 min bodyweight/HIIT circuits. Prioritise sleep and modestly higher protein intake to reduce muscle loss, and limit heavy alcohol on training days. Simple rules: move daily (even 15–20 min), guarantee 2 strength sessions/week, and schedule workouts when you have energy (mornings if nights are late). This keeps momentum while letting you enjoy events.
