Workout on the Go

Like many of you, I'll be traveling for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. I'm getting ready for a road trip to Charleston, SC for the week so I really need to plan for my workouts. While I am so excited to visit, I'm planning what I'll be taking in addition to my entire closet! (Not really...just MOST of my closet!)

I will be working out everyday and here's how I'll do it:
1. I like to use the surrounding area to workout, especially when I'm in a beautiful place like Charleston. I'll take walks and runs at the beach as well as the many parks available.
2. I always take a resistance band with me. They're (and I've said this 100 times!) so easy to travel with as they're light weight and easy to pack.
3. This is a great time to focus on core. Since I won't be paying a day rate to go to a gym, I'll be getting in a ton of training for the abs and low back.
4. Bodyweight workouts will be a staple! As you know from some of my recent posts, I'm really into bodyweight workouts right now. I love them for a number of reasons and when you travel they are particularly convenient. I'll be doing lots of pushups, squats, lunges, mountain climbers, squat jumps, squat thrusts and more!

Be good and be healthy over the holiday weekend! Don't forget to get your workouts in no matter where you are!
