I know that working out is the last thing you want to do while you’re on vacation but that’s a problem because it means that you’re not working out. It’s also a problem because it will throw off your workout schedule. A lot of times, people lose the habit of working out while they’re on vacation and when they return home, they lost their motivation because they lost the momentum of working out daily.
The best thing you can do is create a good workout routine where you can bring along with you anywhere. I like to keep my home workout routines simple and easy so that I am able to do them without any exercise equipment and anywhere I want. So if you’re on vacation for week or month, I came up with a good workout plan that you can complete in just 5 minutes. Now, you can be in shape while you are out relaxing and enjoying your vacation!
Crescent Lunges – The following exercise is a mix of cardio and yoga. The idea behind this is to do a lunge with both arms straight above your head with your fingers pointing to the sky. For every repetition you bring your legs back together, standing straight up, while your arms remain in the air. Then alternate your legs. This workout can be done standing in one spot without taking much space. This exercise works out your legs, core, and shoulder. You should do 20 repetitions.
Marine Push-ups – My friend, Roger, who’s in the Marines, introduced this workout to me. It’s basically a push-up with squats. To do the exercise, you do your push-up and then bring your legs in and stand straight up. Afterwards, squat down and jump into push-up position. You will want to do at least 12 of these.
These are just two basic exercises that workout your entire body within minutes. Take a quick thirty-second break in between the workout. If you have to, split the exercises into two sets. Now when you’re on vacation, this could be your primary workout routine to keep you fit without spending too much time exercising!
