Tips for Exercising while on a Summer Vacation
Working out multiple times a week is a good way to stay fit, lose weight, and stay healthy. While that’s a challenge to do some weeks, during the summer is even more challenging. If your family is anything like mine you travel a few weekends a month. Our oldest son works so we’re only able to go once every three weeks, which makes our time away valuable. We usually leave Thursday early evening or Friday morning so working out is an even bigger challenge.
I have found a way to get a workout in no matter what time we leave and quite possibly no matter where we go. The solution… we go hiking or take family walks. While it may not be as hard of a workout as what you’d get at the gym, it’s still a workout. I look at it this way… it’s better than nothing. We like to go to the lake and the mountain so both places offer you the ability to take walks. Depending on how old your children are and where you go, you may be able to sneak in a walk with your spouse only which will be even nicer. 
The important thing to remember when you’re trying to exercise regularly is it doesn’t matter where you go as long as you do what you can to get one in at least one or two times while you’re away. It doesn’t have to be a full blown workout if you can’t make it happen; a family walk will work just fine. You’ll find the family time will be nice and you’ll get the exercise in you need to stay on track with your fitness plan.
