@Evelyn – Yep, I don’t always pack my running shoes either. Sometimes a holiday is a good way to step away from the normal and do some things out of the ordinary. And some of these tips are creative ways to do that!

@Urban Panther – Losing weight on vacation – that’s awesome! That could be your exercise program – vacation!! Walking is a great way to see a new place and get some exercise. In fact, I know I came back from my last vacation having lost weight also. And we walked alot.

@Vered – Right, vacations can involve a lot of walking around, and that’s good exercise itself. I like the idea of the local foods as well. It’s a great way to experience the culture of the area a bit.

@Marelisa – The 80/20 rule is a good example of how to do a pretty good job, but still splurge on vacation. Some local foods may be hard to stomach for some – I agree. Then stick with something more “normal” for you, right.

@Chris – Like Vered said also, yes – walking can really be a great thing about vacations. In fact, I just got back from vacation recently, and we walked a lot! It even tired out our kids – and they seem to run a lot normally, so I’ll take this as a good thing if we could tire them out from walking!

@Monika – Gyms can be expensive, can’t they! Makes the $10 traveling gym seem like an awesome deal. Gyms can be nice in that they have lots of equipment to use. But, sometimes, it can be even nicer just to get outside and experience your surrounding – $10 backpack in hand! Thanks for stopping by!

@Chris – I think you hit on something here – we each need to do what works for us. Not keep doing what works for someone else, but we fail at. And the key to eating, as well, is to eat good quality foods. Thanks for stopping back here to check on some of the comments.

Each to their own though. If you feel you need and prefer a breakfast, do what makes you feel good. Morning fasting especially after a big meal the night before is something I find works very well though.

@ Mark Salinas. checked out some of your blog posts, very impressed!
@ Stacey. I too love resistance bands and normally throw them in my backpack when traveling. really helpful for stretching and some resistance.

This was a timely post for me. I need to get my butt into shape right now and I don’t even travel, at least not physically. I like the idea of eating light foods for brekki if I haven’t done a workout. Plus the $10 gym is priceless. I actually refused a local membership just two weeks ago because they wanted $800/year. I think this is daylight robbery.

I rather use your suggestions and do it the simple way.

@Writer Dad – A backpack with some weight in – neat way to get some exercise. And right, push ups, etc can be done anywhere, we just don’t always think about it.

@Chris – Zen to Fitness — Thanks for you contributions here!

@Stacey – Yes, I also believe breakfast is an important meal. And, right keep it simple when you’re away, but get a little exercise in just so you’re not too rusty when you get back home.

@Cath – Shoot, even squats without a backpack can be an excellent workout!

@Mark – You’re right, breakfast is a very important meal. What you probably want to avoid is too many donuts or other junk food for this meal!

I was so hot that I spent a lot of time walking and swimming instead.
