Push Ups

Category: Push Ups

Fitness takes no vacations! There is no excuse for not maintaining some kind of routine.  These are the times to utilize your body weight workouts.  You could also incorporate a band or tube routine.  They weigh nothing and it’s easy to throw one in your suitcase.

A couple of body weight exercises you could do is push-ups, crunches, calf raises, dips, pull ups,  squats and lunges.  For cardio, you can always walk or jog.  Just do a little interval training.  Walk for 2 minutes, then jog for a minute and keep alternating adding time to the walk and/or jog time your recovery time would be the slower pace. 

Then there is stretching.  Which is really good for your muscles.  When you are weight training, the muscles shortened.  Stretching elongates the muscles and being on vacation, we can take the time to hold the stretch.  No matter where you are, there’s always time for some fitness!!
