When we recently wrote about Swedish holiday habits, we found that many Swedes eat and drink more on holiday than in everyday life. Unfortunately, we have to say that we recognise this. We have probably both lost our fitness and gained weight after our holidays.

Ok, here we go, and Peter moves in on Monday. I went too hard for the training and I have myself to blame, but what a week. I am doing this MMA training and I will of course do it 100 per cent as usual and I always think I am 26 years old, haha.

If you're going on holiday for two or three weeks, keeping up with your exercise and drinking wine every day may not matter much. It's worse when you're travelling for a whole year...

Today we rolled the campervan to the beach in Galé on the outskirts of Albufeira, here in the south of Portugal. We haven't exercised for ages, so today was the day! We went jogging on the beach and did some occasional exercises from our usual training programme. It's good to be up and running again!
