Workouts on Vacation

Staying fit while traveling is a challenge for most. The hotel gyms can sometimes be sad and depressing, the temptation to relax on the beach or drink at the pool bar may be too much, or the business-trip itinerary might be too exhausting!

Take it from me, one who travels a lot, there are a few key things to remember what you can do, how you can do it, and where you can do to…to burn your calories and keep your body moving while you’re away.  Still with me?

The first point to remember is that you can work out…EVERYWHERE!  Last year, I spent 5 months traveling around in South East Asia. A different hotel every few days. I kept my routine in line with my environment.  It can be done and it doesn’t have to be as disruptive as you think.

Here are some of my favorite ways to workout while you’re away, pretty much no matter where you are.

1. Working Out at the Beach

I know, I know but MOVE!  Running on sand burns 1.6 more calories than asphalt. It also helps increase balance and stabilization while generating more force than usual. You don’t have to run super far, just get moving.  Don’t forget the sunblock.
