With a long beach getaway on the horizon, I don’t want to completely abandon my workouts, especially with the NYC Triathlon in less than two weeks. I’m planning for a few beach runs but want to get in some strength and conditioning work as well. A lot of beach towns are jumping on all the fitness trends and the Hamptons in particular has more fitness than you can fit into a long weekend. I’ll be in Fire Island and after a little online searching, it appears the fitness frenzy hasn’t yet hit the island. That’s fine, I’ll be making my own workouts and have a few friends that will join me.
While it would be great to have weights, that’s not going to happen (Fire Island doesn’t have cars so getting there involves a train, a bus and a ferry, not ideal for carrying heavy weights). Luckily there are some super light items you can pack that will improve your workouts. Two things I’m packing come from Dazadi:
J5 Exercise Bands, $24.99 for 3
JFit Jump Rope, $16.99
I’ll be putting together a couple of routines using these as inspiration:
- Shape 20-Minute Jump Rope Workout
- The GQ Jump Rope Workout (lots of push ups and dips included)
- Popsugar 20 Minute Flat Belly Workout
- Greatists 33 Resistance Band Exercises
What’s your go-to workout routine when traveling?
