 Make that Workout To Go!
There are plenty of good reasons to exercise while traveling and time away from home should not keep you away from your workouts. 

Get Creative with Weight Training

The SANE FITNESS QuickStart Deck program is based on a weight training regimen to tighten and tone muscles and to increase your metabolism. Most hotels, resorts and cruise lines have fitness rooms with free weights, but when you don't have your full weight rack handy, there's plenty of ways to get around the "I don't have my equipment" excuse:

  • Fill up two 16-ounce water bottles to serve as one-pound dumbbells.
  • Jumbo-sized shampoo and conditioners can weigh up to 3 pounds each - just make sure you have an equal amount in both sides!
  • Bring a resistance band in your bag. Most of them take up almost no room, and resistance can be adjusted to meet your weight needs.

Cardio - Indoors and Outdoors

The SANE FITNESS QuickStart Deck stresses the importance of getting your heart rate up before beginning your SANE FITNESS weight lifting exercises.  Getting your heart rate up for about 20 minutes can help burn the extra calories from constantly eating out on vacation. Here are a few easy ways to spend 20 minutes of quality cardio:

  • If your hotel lacks a gym, 20 minutes of continuous swimming in the pool will burn about 250 calories.
  • Use the stairs -spend 20 minutes going from top to bottom. Walking will burn about 100 calories, while running can burn as much as double that amount. Another smart idea is to skip the escalator in the airport. Adding in extra stair stepping throughout the day will burn calories gained while snacking on the go.
  • Walk everywhere- The best way to stay in shape while away from home is to stay active. Take a scenic stroll instead of using the bus or subway.  Walk as much as possible and not only will you shed unwanted pounds but you'll keep your fitness levels up - so you don't have to start from scratch when you get home.
