If you have a routine by going to the gym, first know that it is okay to skip or miss a day or two to give your body a break. However, good for you for wanting to stick to your routine! If you do not have access to a gym while traveling over the holidays, there are still ways to incorporate physical activity into your day.
- Enjoy a walk around the neighborhood
- Use household objects, such as soup cans or water jugs, as weights for arm exercises
- Improve your flexibility with a stretching session
- Practice squats, chair dips, push-ups, or any other movement with your own body weight
- Incorporate balance training while in the kitchen or other parts of the house; use a chair or wall for balance support
