Summer has finally arrived, and for many that means long-awaited vacations are approaching. For some, vacation is a time to embrace their laziness. For others, it’s a time to relax but still maintain a semblance of their everyday routines, including workouts.  

For the latter, working out on vacation—though maybe not at their regular intensity—can be a great way to not only keep up their regimens but also a means of still feeling healthy while reaching for that second margarita. To keep things simple and efficient on vacation, we have compiled two great workouts that you can alternate and perform equipment-free in whatever space you have available.
