When we begin to workout or start a training plan, we become stuck on those habits. If we’re running, we go on the same paths but maybe make a few new turns to add some extra time. If we go to a gym, we may have specific machines we use on certain days. There may be a certain place and time we go to do yoga or Pilates.

All of this can get messed up, or off track, if you go on vacation. The distractions of that can take over, or the business of the trip may too, thus throwing you off the course you’ve started for yourself. However, there are certain things you can do to be able to go on vacation but not lose track of working out or training.

Sometimes finding the motivation and energy to exercise is hard. We’ve all been there. The trick is to set yourself up for success from the start and use these 9 tips to get you in exercise mode before you even begin:

Chose a type of exercise that you enjoy 

If you hate running, don’t join a running club and start training for a marathon. If you hate going to spinning classes, don’t sign up to the spin studio for a 10 week pass. Don’t start doing exercise, because you should, do exercise because you want to. This means different things for different people in terms of what exercise you choose, how often and how long you exercise and it’s important to figure out what this means for you. Many people start a running program because they should run, or their friend runs and then fall away without success because it is so un-enjoyable and just a daily task. Instead, choose the exercise that you like and will do consistently and that will allow you to push to achieve your goals.

I love the feeling you get all day long after you exercise in the morning. That feeling of accomplishment and completion; that feeling of knowing that no matter what happens during the rest of the day, your exercise is complete and nobody can take that away from you. And when a friend calls later and suggests awesome dinner plans, or it’s pouring rain outside and you just want to curl up with your dog and tea in bed, it’s okay: because this morning you did your exercise. Here’s 8 things you can start doing to create a successful morning exercise routine:

1. Start Small 

You have to start somewhere.  Maybe it’s just one morning a week or maybe just for 30 minutes at a time.  Whatever it may be, set a reasonable goal for yourself and just do it once.  Then gradually increase week by week.  Don't get discouraged when it sucks at first, or you miss a few times, and don't try to do something so ambitious that you se yourself up for failure. Instead, make your plan and stick with it and it and it will eventually become a habit.
