I am happy to report that I did another “on the road” vacation workout for you when I visited Holland, Michigan this summer to attend my nephew’s wedding. The wedding was in August, but it took me awhile to get the darn video footage out of my Flip camera and into my new Mac. Seems that the editing software I was using has been upgraded about 4 times since I last bought a computer. Needed to go back to the Apple store for a few lessons!

Many boomers are fortunate enough to be retired empty nesters (negative on both counts for me at this point) who have the time and discretionary income to do a little more traveling. As a professional fitness trainer, I hear all too often about how my training clients and boot campers don’t get their workouts in when they’re on vacation. Now, I don’t expect perfect adherence to a supportive nutrition plan and exercise regime when a customer of mine is traveling, but I am here to tell you you CAN get a workout in when you’re away from home. So, I try to film a “workout on the fly” when I am away from home to give you ideas on what you can do with no advanced planning and no equipment. It’s really fun to get out there and see what you can dream up!

I show you in the video below how to create a “workout on the fly” while you’re away. Things you come across such as benches, curbs, bike racks, playgrounds, or even walkways become the subject of higher intensity “intervals” between segments of “recovery” walking, jogging or running. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced exerciser, there is something you can do outdoors or indoors while you’re away without visiting the hotel gym. It’s actually kind of fun!

Summer vacation time is just around the corner. I hear many people tell me that they get out of the workout mode when they travel. It doesn’t have to be this way! I recently took a trip to Southern California with my family and created a great workout “on the fly”. It was a lot of fun. Try something like this on your next trip out of town. You don’t need a gym and you don’t need equipment!
