IF YOU’RE INTO YOGA

Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.

Can’t bring your yoga instructor with you on your trip? Yogini Miriam Ghandour suggests this flow to pack with you on your journey. For more tips, follow her at @mimillicious on Instagram.

Sun Salutations: Increases flexibility, increases circulation and tones muscles.

Start by standing tall with your feet together, shoulders relaxed, and arms by the sides. Inhale, reach arms high, press palms together. Exhale, fold forward over legs, inhale, lift chest looking forward, exhale, step back to plank pose and engage core. Lower down to low plank then inhale to upward facing dog leading with chest. Exhale to downward facing dog. Separate fingers wide on mat, lifting the tailbone high toward the ceiling. The gaze is at the belly. Take five deep breaths, then step back to front on mat and repeat exercise. Repeat 5 to 10 rounds.

IF BOOTCAMP IS HOW YOU BURN YOUR CALORIES

Soho Beach House’s Fitness Manager Thalita Pascual suggests four sets of 20 reps each, but says, “You can modify accordingly to your fitness level.”

Squats: Works the glutes, hamstrings and inner thighs.

Squats.

Place feet shoulder-width or slightly wider apart. Extend your hands straight out, chest up. Sit back, legs parallel to the floor, knees over the ankles. Push through heels to bring back to starting position.

Elbow Planks: Works abdominals, back and shoulders.

Elbow planks.

Place forearms on the floor with elbows below the shoulder. Tuck in tailbone, contract abs and activate quads so hips don’t sink. Keep your back flat and hold for 20-60 seconds.

IF FUSION FITNESS IS HOW YOU SWEAT

Superman.

Need to turn your hotel room into a gym? TruFusion Coral Gables Fitness Director Dwayne Frection is here to help. His quick 15-minute total body workout can be done on the go. Complete 45 seconds of each exercise and rest for 15 seconds for a total of five rounds.

Thrusters (Squat to Overhead Press): Works quadriceps, glutes and shoulders.

Begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointing forward. Weight should be held shoulder level with elbows tucked in at the sides. Squat down while inhaling. Exhale as you ascend from the squat and press the weight over head. Return the weight to shoulder level and repeat.

Superman (Back Extension): Works lower back.

Begin by lying face down with arms and legs fully extended. Inhale to prepare and exhale lifting arms and legs off the ground simultaneously. Inhale to return to starting position and repeat. Thumbs should be pointing to the ceiling, toes pointed, and eyes looking toward the ground.

IF PILATES IS YOUR THING

Adore your core? Then don’t forget about it on your trip. Jackie Weiner of The Pilates Place Studios Miami and South Beach shares her favorite move to do when you’re away from home.

Bridge: Works hip abductors, gluteus maximum, hamstrings, back muscles and abs.

Bridge.

Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Take a deep breath in as you raise your hips off the floor so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Pause at the top, then exhale as you slowly lower your spine down one vertebrae at a time. Repeat 10 times.
