Just wondering how you manage to work out while on vacation, or if you use it as time off?

I'm going on vacation during winter break. I'm planning on bringing exercise clothes and taking advantage of the exercise facility. Plus we will be doing lots of walking on the beach and any tours we take. I'll see how it goes!

Sonia-

When I was on vacation at Thanksgiving I brought workout dvds (but then again I'm a dvd fiend! lol)

Sonia-- hope you and your family have a GREAT time away, you deserve the break! As for working out, I would do my best to get it done early in the day (a specific workout, on days you won't have the chance to walk on the beach, etc...). I know on vacation later on in the day is near impossible, as you just never know what might be on the agenda.


Have fun :-)

I am hoping to work out whilst on holiday - there is a gym in our hotel - so will plan on using it. We are there for two weeks and since I won't be able to decipher the calorie counts, I have to work out to compensate for anything I might miss. Besides I am feeling far too good to stop now!

Usually my formal workouts suffer when I'm on holidays, BUT I do other activities that make up for it. In the winter we ski and hike, and in the summer we do a lot of biking and hiking. We are usually in Kimberly where my parents have a condo, and they are just building a fitness centre, so that will be handy once it's done.


Of course, I've not got the most consistent fitness regime when I'm at home, so I can't say that things change drastically when I'm on holidays!! LOL

When we go during the summer, we just incorporate active activities into our schedule. Mostly we only travel for Taekwondo tournaments, so that isn't hard.
