It’s cringe worthy to hear this: “I’m on vacation! Why would I workout?!”
Ugggghhh..Don’t use vacation time to justify laziness {!!!}.
Reasons to Workout on Vacation:
+ Be a better “vacation-er.” Without a daily workout, you’re more irritable, stressed, & bloated.
+ Eating & drinking. Since you’re bound to over-eat/drink, you may as well get in an hour sweat sesh.
+ Time, time, & more time. There’s so much downtime; use some of it to your health’s advantage.
+ Workouts enhance the trip. Michael & I made a huge effort to do an hour in the gym each day. If we were lazy pigs, the trip wouldn’t have been as memorable.
+ Just because. Because why wouldn’t you?
Hope you all enjoy this peak inside my scrapbook! Oh, & don’t forget to enter the Nike giveaway for the cutest shoes ever- it ends next week.
P.S. Throughout the trip I wore Lulu*s [ obsessed with their clothing- it’s reasonably priced & supa, supa cute ]. My Cabo outfits can be found here: Chaser tees, floral high-to-low skirt, & dark blue jumpsuit.
Besides working out, dressing fab enhances vacation time too ; ).

I absolutely agree. My boyfriend and I just took a weekend trip to Vermont and we made sure to make it as active as possible – 10 mile bike ride, hiking, and horseback riding, even hitting the gym at the inn we were staying at. We were definitely happier, and enjoyed our trip so much more!
LOVE IT!! : ))
I think it’s because some people hear the word “workout” and they think of something they don’t like so they look at a vacation as a time to get away from doing it. I find on vacation I probably get more of a workout than my daily workouts at home. When we go away we tend to walk everywhere, we do a lot more nature and outdoor activities and we’re just more active all day.
Agreed. Walking is fab cardio too ; ).
Not to mention incorporating exercise in vacation is easy & you get to see more. Like Kristyn did…walk, bike, run through the local neighborhods…you often find great places/views you would have missed otherwise!
Totally agree. Thanks for reading Karleen!
Hey Lauryn! Did you do pilates while you were away or what sort of workout did you do?
I did an hour of cardio each day (on the elliptical)! A Pilates DVD is fab while on vacay too ; ). xo
I’m not on vacation, but after reading this post I got up and ran a couple of miles. I absolutely love your “tough love” attitude. Thanks for inspiring us Lauryn!! 🙂
Yay! Thanks Teri! I love that you’re inspired. You are inspiring me to get up and workout now !! ; ) xo
I totally agree, but when in a fabulous place like Cabo, why workout in a gym? You have a beautiful beach to run on, or the city itself, and though a little crazy I even ran the roads outside our resort. Running is the best way to see a new town or city, provided you do it as safely as possible (with mace or a boyfriend who can take care of both of you).
It was way too hot when we were there! 102 degrees…I wish we could have ran outside though! : ).
