Are you all packed for your summer vacation? Or are you taking a quick trip to the Lake of the Ozarks for the Forth of July? We all deserve some time for relaxation and it is completely acceptable to take a week off from your typical workout, but if you’re looking to still get a workout in during vacation here are a few tips to help you out:

• Pack Lightly: don’t try to bring all your workout equipment from home, utilize your destination! A beach walk engages muscles you forgot you even had! Try kayaking at the lake, or complete a walking tour in a new city.

• Try a new gym or workout class: use your vacation to try something new, see if there is a different variation of the workouts you enjoy! Maybe grab a week long pass at a gym in the area, you might find a new workout that you love!

• Stay flexible: vacation is not the time to demand a perfect workout schedule. Your workout might consist of 3 or 4 twenty minute workouts and that’s completely fine!

Staying fit on vacation doesn’t have to be hard, utilize these tips and hopefully you will come back from vacation even more motivated than you left!
