For many of you, January would mark the start of new workout and weight loss exercise routines. Popular New Year resolutions like “will get healthy” or “will start exercising” get put into practice. Chances are that by now, you are into a week or two of your new workout routine and beginning to enjoy the benefits of exercising – feeling fit and enjoying more energy that you didn’t know you had. You are proud of yourself that you are keeping at least one of your New Year resolutions. At least, till it’s time for your holiday. Have you thought about what happens then? What happens to your home workout routines or your gym workout routines when you take off for a week? In short: Don’t worry – I’ve got good news. These holiday workout routines are exactly that – light-weight and portable so you can pack and take them along on your next trip… Now, first things first – If you exercise dedicatedly the whole year and work out hard then a few days off does not really harm you. You will not loseone all your development and the fruits of your hard work overnight! What’s more, a few days break from training can actually help recharge your energy levels and prime you up when you get back from your holidays.  However if you are keen to stay in touch with workouts and cannot imagine going off workouts totally, then here are some workouts that you can take with you where ever you go… Bodyweight Holiday Workout Routine for Fat Loss Programmes Do keep in mind that fat loss is about 60-70% dependent on your diet.

Bodyweight Holiday Workout Routine for Size Workouts Programmes If you are on a size gain quest then you must be really happy when you’e onholiday. You can actually justify a fifth servings by saying that it will help you add inches to your arms, chest or back. Of course I do not recommend that anyone add lots of body fat while trying to add muscle size, but at least in your case overeating on a holiday won’t harm you compared to someone trying to lose fat. Push ups: 3 sets of 6-10 (take 3-4 seconds on the way down, pause 1-2 seconds at the bottom and explode back up) Door pull ups: 3 sets of as many reps as possible in good form Single leg deadlifts: 3 sets of 8-12 each side Okay so its not the same as doing heavy squats and presses, but you will be working out at without equipment and spend very little time doing so. There, you have two programs for two different goals to ensure that you stay in touch with working during your holidays.
