Workin’ it out — vacation style

It’s the end of my 1.5 day workweek and I’m stoked.  On my agenda today is some work, shopping, a pedi, and some girl time!  Yay for Fridays :)

My one and only motivation for working out on vacation is to eat and drink more.  Yep, I said it.  I own it.

But being that it’s vacation, I for one don’t like going the traditional gym route.  Enter diversity!

Paddleboarding in Hanalei Bay (the last time I went was in Tahoe):

Bestie and I just settin' out

And I'm up!

Hike the Napali Coast:

Not a shabby view, eh?

Rough traversing

Beach yoga:

Standing bow

Running:  Um yeah…no pics of this, but I did run just under 2.5 miles along the North shore on Thursday, Sunday, and Tuesday.  Running in Kauai is so much more fun than on the mainland ;)

Am I an advocate for working out on vacation?  Meh.  If you have time and want to, go for it.  Otherwise, take a break and enjoy your new and temporary surroundings!

If you workout on vacation, what’s your favorite way to get the heart rate up?

Best form of non-traditional exercise? For me, paddleboarding!
