Swimsuit Season: Travel Workouts

Welcome back to the Swimsuit Season Series – So far we’ve covered how to mentally & physically prepare for swimsuit season {Swimsuit Season: How To Get Bikini Ready}, and how to choose the perfect bathing suit {Swimsuit Season: Find The Perfect Suit}. So today we’re going to chat about how to stay in shape, and confident in your swimsuit, while you’re on vacation.

My Tried & True Tips:

1. Since you “can’t outtrain a bad diet” I focus on what I’m eating while I’m on vacation – Rather than over indulging and feeling worse for wear after sugary cocktails and giant meals, I drink TONS of water and make the focus of my meals fresh fruit and salads. Bonus? You get to sample all the fabulous local produce!
2. Even if you’re a sunbather and prefer mellow time laying on the beach try to fit in some healthy activity – Hiking, swimming, snorkeling, beach yoga, SCUBA diving… Wherever you’re vacationing there are sure to be some great outdoor activities you can participate in.
3. Bodyweight activities like push-ups, planks, and core work are your best friend while you’re traveling. They’re quick, effective, and can be done anywhere – From an airport to a hotel to the pool.
