The holiday season is just around the corner, and whether you’re jetting off to an exotic destination or enjoying a cozy staycation, vacation often shakes up our routines—including our exercise habits! But fear not; you can keep moving while enjoying your holidays. Check out our tips to stay active and make the most of your time off!

Pack a Theraband for Easy Workouts
A resistance band is your ultimate travel buddy! Lightweight and super easy to pack, it’s perfect for on-the-go strength training. Imagine turning your hotel room into a mini gym—just grab a chair and some floor space! You can whip out your theraband anytime for a quick workout that’ll keep your muscles happy and healthy.

Research Your Exercise Options
Check out the gym at your hotel or cruise ship or plan some fun exercise adventures. How about a sunrise beach yoga session in Hawaii? Or tai chi in a tranquil Thai park? Feeling adventurous? Try a flamenco dance class in Spain! If you’re staying closer to home, explore a new neighborhood in Brisbane or venture to the coast for a scenic hike.

Gather Your Exercise Buddies
Exercise is always more fun with friends! Rally your travel companions for a group workout or a fun activity. You could explore the sights while taking a brisk walk or have a dance party in your hotel room! Back home, get the grandkids to join you for a game of frisbee or footy at the park.

Choose an Active Holiday
Why not turn your trip into an adventure? There are lots of active touring options around the world suited for all ages and fitness levels! Cycle along the ancient city walls of Xi’an in China, kayak through the stunning waters of Freycinet National Park in Tasmania, or tackle the steps up the Eiffel Tower in France.

Don’t Forget to Rest!
While staying active is important, so is taking time to recharge. Embrace the idea of “rest and rejuvenation.” A short break from your usual routine won’t derail your health goals—in fact, some well-deserved downtime can leave you feeling revitalised and eager to dive back into your fitness routine.

Relax Before You Go
Before your trip, treat yourself to a massage to ease tension and prepare your body for travel. Massage therapy can reduce stress, relieve muscle tightness and improve circulation, leaving you revitalised and ready for adventure.
