Vacation Exercise Part 2

Ok, we know some of you are still on vacation, so here are some more simple things you can do to help stay fit and flexible. And to counteract the number of drinks with little umbrellas...

BACK, HIP AND LEG STRETCHES

Take a yoga belt or a simple canvas belt (the strap to your luggage or duffle bag works well) and take equal ends into each of your hands. While laying on the floor--

* Grab both ends of the belt, holding equal length in each hand. Put the belt around your foot and gently pull down, toward you.

* Now, take the same grip on the belt and move your leg to the right, and then to the left--try to reach the floor each time. Switch legs.

MUSCLE TONING WITH TUBES

Hopefully you brought some simple exercise tubing with you. These are easy and light to pack in your suitcase.

* Place the tubing under your feet. You can do 3 arm exercises in the same position.

Take the tube handles in each hand and curl up (underhand); next curl up holding the tubing with your fists (hammer-curl); and finally, take the tub and curl it directly in front of your with your palms up. Rotate these, do 12, 3 sets.

Tubing can used for a variety of things, look for a solid door handle and you can do several things from that position.
