Out of Town Workouts
Do you ever go to the gym or fitness club when you are on vacation or away for a long weekend?
I’m just curious on what people do. People of all fitness levels usually work out on some type of routine when they are close to home. From the casual workouts types all the way up to the bodybuilding supplements types. Next to my hotel this weekend was a 24hr fitness. So of course I thought about working out, but just shrugged it off and laughed. Probably cause I knew I was really busy with my soccer team and being on the go with 3 games and 18 miles that separated the fields and the hotel. So needless to say I didn’t get to participate in any fitness this weekend.
Last spring I went to Seattle to visit my parents and to be there for my mom’s surgery and they had a 24 hour fitness right down the street and I still didn’t go. So … Do you or would you really workout if you are on vacation or out of town?

I usually just walk or run outside. You can do that pretty much anywhere. I don’t workout for as long when I’m traveling, but I try to get in at least a 20 minute walk.

It depends on what I am doing during my vacation. If I am snowboarding six hours a day then no, I do not work out. If I am not very active then I will workout a little if I can. I do not vacation though. My last vacation was three years ago. For me, there is more stress with vacations than with my regular routine.

@peak9 you bring up a good point. Sometimes vacations can be stressful and not worth it.!!!
My last Major vacation was 7 years ago. I don’t count flying home to Seattle to see my family as vacation lol…

Wow, seven years. That is a long time, but I can understand how that happens. I have three weeks off from work coming up, but will just be using it to catch up around the house and chill out a bit.
