Don't Pass Up The Gym On Vacation...

I've (Juliane) been on vacation for four days and have managed to visit four different gyms. Two different gyms at Sea Colony (where we are staying), World Gym in Behthany Beach, and Energy Gym in Delaware. All of the gyms were within a 20 minute drive. Before I leave I always check out the hotel gym to see what they offer. I also bring along my trusty resistance bands to add into the workout. Just because you are on vacation doesn't mean you can't scope out the gyms in the area... and sometimes for FREE. Most gyms let you in free (or a low trial cost) for the first time. If it's a popular vacation spot they usually have week long passes at a cheap price. Schedule the workout in your day so you can feel better indulging in those vacation treats! Make it quality time with your spouse. My husband and I worked out together today (on his birthday) which we don't always get the chance to do with our busy schedules at home. Don't be intimidated by any gyms or people there. Most people in the fitness industry are very willing to help you if you have questions. Its also a great time to change up your workout from your usual routine. One point to remember is that different brands of equipment may feel different and you can't always judge a weight by the actual number. Some older equipment will feel a lot heavier than newer ones. Also sometimes weight is listed in KG instead of LBS. Next time your headed on vacation get on Google and Mapquest some of the local gyms. Fill out requests for first time visits. See what they offer for a week long pass. You might get inspired and motivated by new surroundings.
