s it ok to gain 5 LBS on vacation? 🤢 You do you, but I say no thank you. Whenever I take a trip, I am always asked if I train while I’m vacation. Simple answer, yes. But not always the way one might think.
To be 💯 honest, I don’t always do any specific strength training while on vacation. Couple reasons for this…
1. I typically train 4-6 days a week for months at a time, so taking 3-5 days (my typical vaca) away from the gym is probably more beneficial than not. Earn those rest days.
2. I am always active when I travel. Don’t get me wrong, I love to sit on the beach for hours without a care in the world. But I also love to hike, swim, jog, explore a new place by foot, and any other extracurricular activity that tickles my fancy.
With all that said. Sometimes we just NEED to get a good sweat on to feel our best and having a simple, effective workout routine in your back pocket comes in handy if you want to make sure your vacation doesn’t undo the hard work you’ve been putting in back at the home gym.
So here you go.
A quick, simple warmup.
Then 10 squats to 10 squat jumps
REST 1 minute
Then 10 pushups to 10 explosive pushups
REST 1-2 minutes
Back to the squats.
Repeat 3-5 rounds.
Go for a long, easy jog
OR
Do 5-20 short, fast sprints (10-20seconds) with 30-60 seconds rest in between.
Make sure they put salt on the rim of your cocktail to replenish those electrolytes you just sweat out. Cheers!
SAVE THIS FOR YOU NEXT BEACH VACATION
