Staying on Track on Vacation!

The great thing about going on vacation some place warm is that you can bring your cardio workout with you! Walking, jogging, and running can all be taken outdoors at your leisure. Just be sure to get your heart rate up. Swimming is another fun cardio activity that's usually easy to engage in — plus, it's kinder to your body than land-based exercise because your buoyancy in water helps you avoid the jarring impacts that can cause injuries. To mix things up and target different muscles, be sure to use a variety of strokes during your swim, including the breaststroke, the butterfly, and the backstroke. But it's your vacation — don't forget to have fun!
