I usually pack these on top of my bag or in a carry-on. That way, all I have to do is get dressed in my workout clothes, pick up the bag, and hit the gym (or wherever I can workout) \u2014 especially if jet lag is involved. I\u2019ll leave behind my mat and weights, and substitute it for a towel.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What kind of workouts do you like to do at hotels?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI love circuit training because it can be done using just the space of a yoga mat (or a towel if [you\u2019re] traveling) and it involves cardio and strength training. My go-to for a while has been Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide (BBG). From there, I\u2019ve been incorporating my own moves to tailor it to building a stronger booty and doing lots of ab-focused workouts with my core ball (or packing cube!). All of my workouts are no more than 30 minutes. Because of that, I really have no excuse [to skip them].<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do you motivate yourself to work out while on vacation, especially if you&#8217;re in a different time zone?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nSimplifying the process and being as prepared as possible is key to working out while on vacation. Before you travel to your destination, see if your hotel has a gym in it or a gym nearby. If no gym is available to you during your trip, at least you won\u2019t stress about it because you were already prepared to workout in your room or a park. If you\u2019re a class goer, see if there are any fitness studios nearby ahead of time (ClassPass is great for this in the US). If you\u2019re in a different time zone and need a couple days for your body to adjust and get into the swing of things, rest and don\u2019t stress. If you are up for it, go [for] a light walk, do some yoga, or run until your body is ready for a full workout. And remember, workouts actually make you more energized. Thinking of this when I\u2019m on a trip always motivates me, because I want the most energy possible to be able to explore!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What are some everyday items you can use for working out when traveling?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nI use my toiletry bag or packing cube as a weight. They work so well for ab twists, sit-ups, and even squatting. A towel works as a mat substitute and you can use the edge of a chair or bed to do tricep dips, push-ups, step-ups, etc. Washcloths on the bathroom floor make for great ab workouts too; just do some mountain climbers with the washcloths under your feet and go!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BRvznTmD47Z\/\" target=\"_blank\">?Drinking green juice in one hand, eating a cupcake in the other ??\u200d\u2640\ufe0fHappy St. Pattys day!? @eatbychloe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A post shared by REMI ISHIZUKA (@rrayyme) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2017-03-17T17:05:16+00:00\">Mar 17, 2017 at 10:05am PDT<\/time>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How do you maintain a healthy diet when traveling?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nHealthy living has become such a huge part of my lifestyle that even if I\u2019m traveling, I try to stick to the 80\/20 rule. So 80% healthy, clean eating and 20% whatever I want. But I don\u2019t stress if I break it. My biggest concern is getting enough veggies (five servings) and protein throughout the day \u2014 no matter what. If I ate something heavy for dinner, I\u2019ll switch it up with something lighter for lunch, and that helps balance things out.<\/p>\n<p>xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"We\u2019re all about staying healthy, especially when traveling.
