Do you workout when you go abroad on a holiday ?

I am doing Pint curls(in the UK at the moment), a lot of them. But I do walk everywhere, so hopefully that helps a little and I don't gain too much over my vacation.

Make sure you alternate those curls, we don't want uneven biceps.

I dont typically head to a gym but ill find outdoorsy stuff to do like hiking or do a lot of walking around. I lost a belt size in Japan just walking everywhere and catching the train and eating when i could during the hot summer.

Personally I usually like to workout on holiday. If it's an hotel I'll lift in the gym plus running and swimming. If it's a villa then usually just swimming and running.

I love going for a run when I'm somewhere new. All those little routes lighting up my Strava map

There's absolutely nothing wrong taking a complete break and relaxing I just enjoy exploring new places.

As for lifting there's nothing like a good early morning bicep/tricep pump so you can walk around the breakfast buffet like a T-Rex with your swole guns

Most of my international travels are backpacking or at the very least major-walking trips. Usually no access to a gym. On the occasions I do have access, yes, I use them as much as possible. If there's no opportunity for a gym and I'm not hiking, I always go for a run. Exercise on travels is pretty exciting stuff and I spend a considerable amount of time in trip planning figuring out where I'll run or what I'll do.

Since I got back into running, I run a few times a week when I'm on vacation—usually at a pretty easy pace, as a way of seeing some of the sights. I also walk a lot. I keep telling myself I should do some bodyweight exercises, but I'm not very diligent about them when I'm away from home.

I do a lot of cycling at home, and sometimes on vacation. This summer my wife and I rented bikes for a couple weeks of our vacation. We've done a few 6-10 day bike tours, too (credit-card touring, i.e., staying in inns, not tents). Even if we don't have bikes, we like to get outdoors and move, so we'll walk or hike almost every day.

Most of my vacations involve a lot of walking to see the sites and a lot of other activities like surfing or we rent bikes to get around places like Pacific Beach and whatnot. I might do a few rounds of pushups in the morning, but with as active as we are on vacations I see little need to go get in a deliberate workout.

We've had trips here and there that were more or less sitting around soaking up the sun by the pool...these are usually 2-3 day trips to just get away...I have been known to use the exercise facilities at the hotel on these little getaways because I'm not really doing much else activity/movement wise. But a normal vacation to a destination typically involves a crap ton of activity and movement.

No. When I am abroad, I usually walk 25k+ steps every day and that is enough of a workout for me!

I always make sure the hotel I book has a gym. I won't go full pelt with the workout but enough to get a good burn.
