If you've ever had a break from training — planned or unplanned — and come back convinced you've lost everything, this episode is for you.This week I'm answering one of the questions I get asked most often: how long does it actually take to lose your strength when you stop training? And the answer might surprise you.I'm also talking about the two women I see most when it comes to training breaks — the one who backed off because of pain and never quite found her way back, and the one who went on holiday with the best intentions and came home with a guilt hangover.In this episode I cover:What the research actually says about strength loss timelines (it's slower than you think)What does and doesn't change during a break — and what to expect when you returnThe mental side: why guilt and dread keep women out of training longer than the break itselfHow to prepare well for a planned breakHow to return smart — without trying to pick up exactly where you left off✨ Struggling to get back into it after a break?
