Traveling? Don’t Miss A Workout!

 

Summer is in full bloom here in the southwest.  We are officially over 100 degrees on a daily basis.  Many of you may think that is hot, hot, hot.  But it is not so bad and you really do get used to it.  Working out early in the morning or right before the sun goes down is quite pleasant.  We also have times where the wind kicks up.  I also know it is summer when clients who can’t get used to heat pack up and head out of town for cooler climates.  They head to the mountains for the next 2 months.  Just a 90 minute drive to Flagstaff, AZ usually brings 15 to 20 degree temperature drops.  So many people try and have second homes up there.

 

Right about now you are asking yourself, “Bobby doesn’t usually ramble like this, so why would he think we care?”  Well, maybe you don’t.  However, maybe you should.  You see, I have also spent the last few weeks of personal training building travel workout after travel workout for clients.

 

Oh, do I have your attention NOW?  I thought so.

 

I start off by asking them what they will have at their disposal.  Most have a stability ball, and some tubing.  Some will have weights and access to gyms which makes my job a snap.  Everyone has an MP3 player.  So I know I can send them out for a good cardio workout as well as the standard body weight exercises.

 

This week’s newsletter I thought it would be nice to include some staples from each category.  I will give general rules to follow whether you are at a resort, a beach, the mountains, a condo, hotel room or a second home.  Although these workouts are not limited to traveling, they are simple and effective easy to perform exercises that require little or no equipment.

 

Finally, I will write you again before 4th of July.  However I figured I better give you a heads up.  Remember that you will not be able to look as cute and sassy or buff and tight in that swimsuit if you wait until July 1st to work on your beach ready body.

 

You have a little less than a month to make a difference in the way you wear the one piece, string bikini, or (for guys) go shirtless at the summer barbeque.  So get serious for a couple of weeks.  Lay off sugar, wheat, dairy, and booze for the next 3 weeks and then you will feel better about enjoying yourself over the long weekend.

 

Remember Better Bodies = Better Results,
