*While traveling try to do your workout in the morning. It will help you adjust to different time zones more quickly and will give you the flexibility of doing whatever you want in the evening. Not to mention that it will give you a fresh, clear mind for the day ahead.
Travel Workout #1
5min Burn & Stretch
This is the morning routine I do on my more active vacations where Im on my feet a lot. It helps me to engage my core, keep my upper body strong and stretch my lower back spine (which become SO tight while traveling) so that I feel strong and connected to my body throughout the day.
1. 10 push ups
2. 5 squats then 90degree jump to Rt., jump Lt. on next round
(5 squats, 90degree jump to Rt., repeat 3 more x’s until facing forward then move on to next exercise)3. plank hold, 45sec.
repeat
standing head to knee (from yoga for travel)
standing bow (from yoga for travel)
Travel Workout #2
10-15min Workout
Run 5-10 flights of stairs (pick your own level)
do 30 crunches at the top
run down, back up,
do 30 alt. hip dips
run down, back up
do 30sec hip bride hold
end
OR
rest 2min, then repeat
Travel Workout #3
20min laps in pool (I alternated btw breast, freestyle, back and side stroke) then relax in jacuzzi for 5min and end by JUMPING into the pool for an invigorating HotCold plunge. Ahhh, now you’re awake:)
