7 Ways to Sneak in a Holiday Workout
With the holidays and new year around the corner, Australians have travel on their mind. Many people find that during holiday travel, their workout regimen seems to get thrown out of whack.
Fortunately, with a little proactive planning, you can maintain your fitness level, no matter where you are. The key is to be creative and remember that even short workouts are better than no workouts at all.
Here are a few tips on how to keep in shape while you travel.
Do a "Condensed-but-Intense-Workout"
Customize your own 30-minute workout combining three lower body workouts (squats or lunges) and three upper body exercises (modified push-ups or chair dips).
Warm up with exercises like marching or jogging in place, then do 10-20 repetitions of a lower body exercise and 10-15 repetitions of an upper body exercise. Follow this with a minute of jumping jacks or jogging in place. Repeat this routine two or even three times and then try a variation of abdominal crunches, low back lifts and stretches.
Rehearse Your Routine
Practice makes perfect, so in order to be familiar and comfortable with your routine, do it as often as possible.
Get Active in Airports
If flight delays leave you with extra time at the airport, take advantage of it. Store your luggage in an airport locker and take a hike through the terminal.
Bring Tubes, Bands and More
Don't leave out fitness equipment when you’re packing for a trip. Bring fitness videos, comfortable walking shoes, a bathing suit or other gear that you can fit in your bag. Inspirational memos from a trainer or a motivational CD could help you get moving.
Get a Jump Rope
Jumping rope is a great way to get in a few minutes of intense cardio workout and it can be done just about anywhere. If you don't have a jump rope, try climbing flights of stairs instead.
Plan to Relax
Don't overdo it. Staying fit is important, but don't lose sight of the real reason for the holidays spending time with those who are important to you. If you want to do both, involve the whole family in a yoga or tai chi exercise to unwind.
Ease Back Into Your Routine
Depending on how much you worked out during your travel, you may need to gradually ease back into your old routine. You may want to consider using lighter weights or decrease the intensity or the duration of your workouts until you can return to pre-trip conditions.
Hope to see you on Saturday at New Farm Park for the Reddog Triathlon Training Xmas Party!
