I look forward to getting more exercise when I'm on vacation. My typical vacation usually centers around either hiking or laying on the beach. If I'm laying on the beach, that is only part of the day, I love to take long walks on the beach, especially in the morning. I always choose the stairs over the elevator when on a cruise or in a hotel.
My sister-in-law, a certified yoga instructor, and another sister-in-law were on the last cruise my husband and I went on. One sister brought her laptop, I had yoga DVDs, and we all brought our yoga mats. We worked through some routines together in the gym during the cruise. It was great to work out together. The cruise line offered an extremely short, basic yoga class, so we were very glad to have our own private instructor.

Round 9 - Exercise at Work
While exploring Yoga Journal's website for round 8 I discovered a link to desk exercises for stress reduction. Some days, I really need that help.
Now, some of the best fun I've had here is the after-work exercise group. We would meet on Tuesdays after work and workout together to an exercise video someone brought from home or the library. We have been able to try out a lot of new exercise routines and had a great time working out as a group. We don't meet during the summer because we have lots of outdoor activities to keep us busy. I recently bought a set of Zumba DVDs and we're all looking forward to getting together again in the fall.

Round 8 - Exercise
This past week my entire family vacationed at a huge resort in Mexico. The walk from the restaurant to the beach was at least 1/2 mile and we walked this several times a day. At first, it seemed like the beach was a long way away, but by the end of the week everyone thought the walk was a piece of cake. Naturally, I ate lots of different kinds of foods and ended up gaining 3 pounds. All muscle right?
I am inspired to get back into walking at least 4 times a week to keep the momentum going. Except, I'd like to see the weight go down rather than up.
I also bought some new Zumba DVDs, it looks like fun! I really would have liked to go to that program on Staff Development Day, but was walking the beach in Mexico. On rainy days I'll work out to these DVDs and, hopefully, keep to an exercise routine.
I have visited the yoga journal website, but need to get more into it. There is lots of information on my favorite form of exercise.
