Do you workout while you are on vacation?

[birdiesunshine]

I workout just about everyday no matter where I am on vacation, I generally always book a hotel with a gym. How about you?

 

[Cool-Beans]

Sort of. I do laps in the morning or evening...but I enjoy that. I don't use the machines. I ought to, I eat enough on vacation! But I save that for when I get home.

Vacation is time to kick back and enjoy for me. No working out.

I don't workout, just walk. When I'm at WDW I walk a LOT

 

[jx3smom]

We go to the gym most days. All our vacations in the last 5 years have been to WDW so we walk, walk and walk.

Depends on the length and type of vacation. If it's just two days at WDW, I don't bother and I dfigure I will be getting walking in. When we went to the mountains for a week we did some hiking every day so that was my workout. If I am on a cruise I do go to the gym.

On my first cruise, we worked out on ellipticals and weights on the first day and took a spinning class. After that, we were just too busy and didn't bother. We also did a lot of walking, we rode bikes for a couple hours and we went kayaking. So we were pretty active. When we did a land vacation in Mexico there was way more sitting around than anything. And I didn't even see the gym.

At WDW I just don't have the time. We go from sun up until way past sun down. I figure I do enough walking! However, if I was on a cruise or a trip with a lot of down time, I def would.

I usually don't - but Im also not a work-out regularly type of person.

I'm currently doing the couch to the 5k plan and right in the middle of it I'll be heading to Florida (no disney ) so I'll be running.

I love to work out, I really do, but I can't justify running (or biking, or stepping, or whatever) in place and staring at a wall or tv screen, at best, when I'm in a new place with new things to see and do.

Last week for work I was in St. Louis and worked out one day in the gym and then I just felt silly. Instead, I replaced that with a walk/run around the Arch Park and up and down the city streets. Got my exercise, but also took in the new scenery.

And at WDW - forget it. I'm not spending a second away from the Disney experience to run like a hamster in a wheel....too many places to GO!

 

[NMAmy]

Nope, no way. I'm on VACATION. Even vacation from workouts. I also eat ANYTHING I want.

 

[princess pooh]

I try to stay active on vacation. If it's a lazy beach vacation I'll go to the gym. At WDW I'll walk even more than I have to.

 

[Zippa D Doodah]

I don't work out on WDW vacations. The walking I do there is sufficient for me. If I'm on some kind of lazy vacation I'll work in some exercise time (but hardly ever in a gym)

 

[lustergirl]

walking is sufficient for me!!!

 

[Bob Slydell]

I barely work out when I'm at home.

 

[helenabear]

Depends on where I am and what I am doing. If it involves a lot of walking (WDW, hiking... etc) then usually no since I am pretty much a cardio only gal. If it one where I don't do much, then I try to work out.

 

[auntpolly]

The health club between the poly and the GF is so nice! Ours at home always seems dirty and is a little smelly and the employees are all a little surly -- so yeah I love to work out at WDW!

 

[MinnieFan4ever]

For me it depends on the type of vacation I am on. If it is a beach/lazy vacation, I will work out. If it is a Disney vacation, ski, or any other active vacation, I don't.

One thing I won't do is diet. I love to eat while on vacation.

 

[azgal81]

I can't remember the last time I have actually worked out so no.

 

[birdiesunshine]

So, some look at it like a chore on vacation or a waste of time, obsessive people like me feel gross if they don't exercise on vacation. I usually go to the gym either early in the morning or during the day while dh and dd's are napping. it's a great break for me. My friends think I'm crazy.

My friends think I'm crazy.

Yes, but for reasons other than the subject of this thread.
