Summer’s here, and with it comes family vacations and other holiday road trips. However, just because you are away from home doesn’t mean that you have to compromise your daily fitness routine.
Consider the following the next time you try to make excuses for not exercising on the road:
*If you are a runner, traveling to a different city gives you the chance to jog along new trails and view different scenery.
*If you are a weightlifter, traveling could mean getting to use unique fitness equipment at your hotel’s gym.
*Traveling provides the opportunity to switch up your exercise routine-if your hotel has a pool; go for a swim instead of riding a stationary bike. If you do take advantage of the hotel’s pool you may consider investing in the AquaVee Portable Swim System. The popular fitness item, weighs about a pound, and lets you swim laps in any size pool with the help of an inflatable belt. The belt attaches you to a pool wall via resistance bands and high-pressure suction cups. The system also comes with handle and leg attachments designed for those who want to get in some Pilates exercises too.
*Bring along portable workout gear. For example, the TRX Suspension Trainer is a system of adjustable, industrial strength straps that allow exercisers to use their bodyweight for resistance. The pro model package comes with an anchor that can be fixed to a tree or other large sedentary object. Trees work well when you are exercising outdoors, but the device works inside as well. Simply attach it to your hotel room door with the help of a door anchor that’s sold separately. The product weighs less than two pounds and folds up into the size of a shoe, which means you can easily tote it with you in your suitcase or duffel bag and maintain your weight loss program while on the road.
