You’re vacationing at the beach – and it’s friggin’ raining! Whacha’ gonna do? Well, you can still workout right in your hotel room if your hotel doesn’t have a gym. Go ahead and use the room itself for your workouts. Here are a few different ways to do that:

Do Commercial Break Workouts

The first thing you can do is just do exercises when you are watching TV, but when the commercials are on. This is perfect if you are there to relax, but still want to find time to exercise as well. There are quite a few things you are able to do just during the commercial breaks with very little effort. For example, you can use one commercial break to do planks on the ground in front of the bed, then you can try wall sits or squats during the next commercial break.

There are a lot of opportunities to get in a good workout, no matter where you are. Just because you are spending the day at the beach doesn’t mean you can’t also get in your daily exercise. The following provides some different ways to workout whenever you are at the beach.

Try HIIT Workouts

HIIT, or high-intensity interval workouts, are great to do at the beach since they only take a few minutes. In just 5-10 minutes, you can do an intense workout that burns a lot of calories and will get you in great shape. Another excellent thing about HIIT workouts is that they can workout your entire body in such a short period of time.

One good idea of a HIIT workout is a simple tone-up workout. This takes about 8-10 minutes. You want to do some lunges or squats for about 30 seconds to warm up your body. You will then alternate different exercises, making sure you use as much intensity as possible with each one. This includes a plank drag, side shuffle, and single-leg bounding. You can look up these exercises to find out exactly how to do them. Continue reading →
