Whether you’re figuring out how to work out on vacation or sticking to a vacation workout plan, this guide gives you quick routines to stay strong, energized and on track during the busiest time of year.

Staying fit on vacation doesn’t have to be complicated.

  • Schedule your workout like any other appointment—add it to your itinerary
  • Use your space wisely: hotel rooms, backyards or patios all work
  • Pack light equipment: resistance bands, a towel and a water bottle can be your gym
  • Aim for energy, not perfection: it’s about moving, not maxing out
