Another night in the life of the ever exciting Single Ashley world 🙂
That means:
Another Whole Foods Bowl
More Yoga
Namaste
More Bad TV

Tonight
I actually had a ton of energy after work to burn off (LONG day) so I decided on a very quick and dirty mini-workout.
- 1 mile warm up (845)
- 50 incline sit ups
- Yoga
The perfect mix of cardio, strength and yoga for a quick and fun 30 minute work out.
This workout actually reminded me of the fun challenge I did when I first started the blog. Do my from-the-beginning readers remember this? I’m actually now thinking about incorporating it into the honeymoon. I want to relax and not have much of ANYthing scheduled during the 2 weeks, including specific work outs. The challenge was a great way to squeeze in strength training whenever I had a minute or two. Perfect for busy 9-5’ers, or honeymooners 😉
What do you all think? Would YOU do the challenge during your honeymoon or a relaxing vacation?

I would like to say that I would relax and forget to workout, but knowing me I’d sneak stuff in…Shhhhh. I say do what makes you happy, that’s what your honeymoon is about right? You should plan some stuff, but don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get to it.
I always have great intentions, and then get in one or two workouts on a vacation, max. Walking all over counts, right?
I usually find that I get tons of exercise just being on vacation walking to see sights, hiking fun trails, or getting in swimming if I am near a beach. I love taking time off from any structured exercise on vaca (usually 3 weeks) and find that when I am home I feel ready to get back into it. It also give any minor injuries time to heal. You look so cozy curled up with your furry friends!
I think you have to do what makes you happy and makes you feel comfortable! I’m not a fan of doing nothing on holiday, it doesn’t make me feel good, if I don’t move my stomach gets so uncomfortable, I have to move. I know it’s your honeymoon, but if your body craves some exercise…..?
I think thats a nice way to get in a little extra exercise when you’re trying to spend most of your time relaxing and enjoying yourself.
Working out for me is just something I do and I really have a tough time NOT doing it on vacation. While relaxing and unwinding is great and I don’t think you should necessarily plan your day around a workout on vaca – at the same time I am a much happier person getting in physical activity so its a necessary evil. And, I usually plan a vacation around a race gives me an extra excuse 🙂
