How to Progress in Fitness Even on Vacation

Since it’s vacation time for many people, we get a lot of questions about what to do while on vaca. Here is one from Theresa who I must say is doing so AWESOME. She’s been training with us for 6 weeks and has really firmed up and lost inches all around. We are super proud of her. Check out our response. Let us know if you find it helpful and/or leave some of your own tips for all of us by leaving a comment.

HI Billy,

Happy Monday!  As I mentioned last week, I will be going away on Thursday for a week and was wondering if you could give me some guidelines to at least maintain if not progress.  The hotel has a gym with treadmills and weight machines.  I did not notice bicycles.  Should I do different body parts on different days or just do a circuit….?  


Thanks so much,
Theresa Pellegrino
Hey Theresa!
Here is a video and article (written by Billy Riccio) that we did for one of our other boot campers that was going to be away on vacation and wanted to know some good workout routines.Here is what I would do. Don’t throw good nutrition out the window! You should certainly enjoy yourself but you will probably feel better if you eat at least somewhat sensibly.As far as workouts I would use it as a back off week. You’ve been working hard for weeks so an easier week might actually be better for you in the long run.I would do full body workouts on 3 non-consecutive days (e.g.) Fri., Sun., Tues.) and do anywhere from 20-45 minutes of cardio on the other days perhaps including core/abs.Use this time to have fun and don’t feel the need to go super hard. Do the exercises you enjoy most and turn it more into a playing session.

Let me know how you make out and have a great time!

Thanks so much!

Billy
