FIT ON THE GO
Your Holiday Travel Workout Routine
As a mom to her 4-year-old son, Athina Brezzo-Bosnoian, a certified Lagree & Pilates instructor, has to be creative in fitting workouts into her schedule when traveling through the holidays. “The key is to be prepared with a few easy-to-pack essentials and have a plan”, she explains. Her advice to staying in shape while traveling is to set aside time, even if it’s only 30 minutes as that is better than no minutes at all.
Items to pack:
- Bala Bands
- Resistance bands
- Exercise mat
Here are some easy movements you can do in your hotel room or outside at a beautiful park with body weight and resistance bands. Check out these 11 exercises that you can do all together for a full body workout or split them up into a lower body workout with 6 exercises and an upper body workout with 5 movements for another exercise day. A nice walk/hike with the Balas on can be a great way to stay active during your trip.
