sometimes it's hard to get a workout in when you're on a weekend vacation.. it could just be a pure laziness factor on my end, but i just think it's too much of a hassle to figure out where and how to get in a good workout. plus i never want to deal with packing gym clothes and sneakers in my incredibly small carry-on luggage (because aren't we all too cheap to check-in bags nowadays?). simple solution? walk everywhere.
when i have a longer trip, i make it a priority to continue my workout routine, but when it's a short one then i just try to get in as much walking as possible. i did this recently during my quick vacation to LA. just by avoiding the car, we walked over 5 miles in one day by walking to and from brunch and the beach (yes, we did calculate our efforts); we even woke up the next morning a little sore! making an extra effort to be more active helps even out those vacation calories. this can be applied when you're not on vacation too -- are you lucky enough that you have restaurants or other activities nearby? well instead of driving the 2 minutes to get there, why not walk? you'll only be spending a handful of minutes longer to get to and from your destination, but the aftermath is so worth it. good luck!
