We know the feeling: you spend all spring getting in shape for summer vacation, only to ruin it at the all-you-can-eat buffet. Whether you’re looking to buy bikinis, swimsuits or tankinis for your vacation, or you are packed and ready to go, read on to find out how to stay in shape on vacation without even trying!

If you’re traveling to a new city, chances are you’ll spend more time exploring lovely streets and plenty of other hidden gems. This means walking. Walking is a fantastic low-impact exercise and can help you stay in shape on vacation as well as burn calories – why not hire a bike to get around even faster?

If you’re heading to the beach, keep in mind that walking in the sand burns more calories than walking on a flat path because your feet sink into the sand, meaning your muscles have to work harder to lift out of it with each step, so get on that beach and give those calves a workout! While you’re there, throw in a game or two of volleyball to get those arm muscles moving!

If you’re by the sea, or your hotel has a pool, then it’s more than likely you’ll spend a ton of time in the water. Swimming is a fantastic form of exercise as it works all the muscles, and in 30 minutes you can burn, on average, 250 calories (that’s at least one daquiri). Treading water is a great way to tone your core muscles, and to banish that arm flab we recommend circling your arms in a figure eight motion.

Dancing – not only is it great exercise, but it’s fun too! If you’re off on a Girls Only vacay, it’s inevitable that most evenings will be spent on the dance floor. Dancing can be good for your bod and for your skin as all the sweating will give you a healthy glow, so don’t forget to get your groove on!
