Build Muscle and Lose Fat When Traveling

You know what it's like; you go on vacation or you go traveling for business, and you come back a few pounds heavier. Then you spend the next few weeks trying hard to burn it off and get back into shape. I recently went on a trip to New York for 10 days, and because I normally eat incredibly healthy when I am at home, I came back four pounds heavier. I have to admit I spent the majority of that vacation inhaling chocolate brownies with melted peanut butter and ice cream, while throwing back ridiculously large amounts of alcohol, but nevertheless I came back with a bit of a belly. It's hard to stick to a healthy eating plan when dieting,  and unfortunately for most of us, it's difficult to get to the gym while on vacation or to find the time to sneak in some cardio. But it turns out, you don't need to be spending hours of your vacation in a gym to stay in shape while you travel. There are some cool new workout gadgets and equipment out there that you can take on your vacation, which take up hardly any space in your suitcase, and what's even better is you can use them in your hotel room in only minutes a day. Check out some your newest travel companions that are going to ensure you don't return from your trip with a bigger waistline.
