Here's what you can do if you're on vacation, sick, or simply don't have enough time to train.

I can't complete a workout:

If something unexpected comes up and you're unable to get through a workout, you've got a few options:

  1. If you work out 4 times a week or less, you can simply make up the workout by doing it on one of the days you’d usually take off (rest day). Just remember to keep the order of days the same, and make sure you’re back in your regular routine within the next week.

  2. If you’re working out more frequently or can’t make up the workot, it’s best to leave that workot open and complete your week without it. If this becomes a habit, you might want to think about cutting back on the number of sessions per week, so you can stick to your workout plan more consistently.


I can’t work out for an entire week (or multiple weeks) due to illness:

If you need to take a break for a week or more due to illness, you can simply complete the week(s) retroactively. This means you DON’T close them out empty but leave them untouched and just do them once you’re recovered.


I can't work out for an entire week due to vacation:

If you have to take a break for a week, for example because you are going on vacation or have less time overall, you should plan a deload week here. To do this, go to the training tab at the top and click on the gray "Training" button and move the deload to the desired training week.. Ideally, you’ll still manage to get in a few of the now planned shorter recovery sessions. For any sessions you weren’t able to complete, you can simply leave them blank and finish the Deload Week once you’re ready to get back to your normal routine.
