I had this same problem last summer when I had just started to workout. I took some dumbbells and made some kinda of routine to do. I dont know if it actually helped but I think it was the peace of mind that I was at least doing something. Anyone else help?????

By doing this you'll give a small break to your body but you'll not loose any strength. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

You'll still need at least one week of rest in the end thou (or where you do something completely different sort of exercise like circuit training or rollar blading.... etc) Nice holidays? -------------- - Nina :o) Vous êtes tous magnifiques!
