I love this article about maintaining fitness! But the catch is that you have to have a base of fitness to start. For one thing, it is reassuring during crazy weeks or even months - as long as you continue to do some sort of physical activity at least once or twice a week, you won't lose all of your gains in strength and endurance. Of course, it wouldn't be ideal to continue that over an extended period of time but in the short-term, it's ok.
The last few weeks have proven challenging for me to get to the gym! And when I'm there, I often have only 20 or 30 minutes to do some sort of workout. Today I was able to get in a longer workout and was pleasantly surprised that I'm pretty much where I left off a couple of weeks ago. So, I am living proof - as long as you do something you can continue to make progress once you get back into a regular program.
Be well.
