Vacation time often = no exercise (and lots of ice cream). Unfortunately, physical fitness declines quickly and a lot can happen in three weeks in the recliner. Get some tips for exercising and moving while traveling here.
A few tips to get moving on vacation are:
Thighs - squat:
Stand with your back against a bed or chair and feet hip-width apart. Sit down, but "undo" just before you hit the seat and stand up again. Repeat 10 times. This builds thigh and gluteal muscles.
Shoulders:
Stand firmly on your feet and with your knees slightly bent. Stretch your arms up towards the sky (and if you're lucky, the sun) and see if you can reach it.
Abdominal:
Lie on your back and press your lower back into the ground. Bend one leg up perpendicularly so that your thigh is vertical and your shin is horizontal, then the other leg.
Keeping your lower back on the ground, lower one leg as much as you can without arching your back, then pull it back up to perpendicular. Repeat with the other leg. Repeat 10 times with each leg.
The exercise can be done on the floor in your hotel room, but can also be done on the beach or on the carpet on the lawn.
Back - pelvic lift:
Lie on your back with your legs bent and the soles of your feet on the ground. Imagine your stomach is a clock face with 12 o'clock at the sternum and 6 o'clock at the crotch. First pull the 6 o'clock up towards 12 o'clock and then lift your buttocks off the ground so that you almost roll up. Lift up until your back is straight and lower again "vertebra by vertebra". Repeat 10 times.
