·Be creative. Find unique, fun ways to exercise instead of doing
same routine you do when you are at home. Try biking, hiking, a pedal boat excursion, water-skiing, beach volleyball, etc. Effective workouts aren’t limited to
standard fares of walking, jogging and fitness machines.
·Try out your travel routine at least once at home. A new workout that you’ve never done before will require more time and preparation. This type of frustration just makes for an easy excuse to skip
workout.
·Prepare snacks. If your journey includes a lot of time in
car, be sure to pack some healthy snacks so you aren’t forced to eat at all
fast food and convenience shops along
way.
·Play in
pool. If lounging poolside is part of your vacation plans, then hop in
pool every 20 minutes for 5-10 minutes of pool walking (try it in waist-deep or higher water for a really challenging workout).
·Get comfortable. Don’t forget to pack comfortable workout attire that fits your destination’s climate.
Here is a quick, simple circuit workout that only requires a resistance band and can be done anywhere. Complete at least one set of 8-12 reps of each exercise.
