Think being away from home is an excuse to skip your workouts? Think again. You most certainly can exercise away from home. Here is how:

Bright and early Work out first thing in the morning while your family is still asleep, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on any fun.

In your room Bring an exercise band (for some strength training) and a jump rope (for an easy cardio session) so you can exercise in your hotel room.

Hit the pool Swimming is a great full-body workout; try to do laps for 30 minutes a day. Do not have access to a pool? Swimming in the ocean is an even more vigorous workout.

Take it outside Rent bicycles and ride around to see the sights. Try to do walking tours whenever possible. Skip the double-decker bus!

Sitting down While you’re en route, either in the car or on the plane, try to do some seated glute squeezes. [via: OK!]
