No Equipment
The Perfect No Excuses Summer Vacation Workout
I hope you have something awesome and active planned for your summer vacation—whether it’s camping, hiking, a beach trip, or something else equally as adventurous.
If not, I’d highly recommend planning something, no matter how short, to mix things up a bit and to fully embrace all of life’s experiences. Take advantage of this nice weather while it’s still around!
Whatever it is you have planned for the rest of the summer, it’s no secret that vacations and traveling are one of the main excuses most people have for failing to keep a consistent workout schedule. You simply get out of the habit while not on your normal everyday schedule, and have trouble picking back up where you left off once you get back into the swing of things.
And if you’re like the majority people, even if you do want to work out on vacation, you probably don’t know what to actually do to stay in shape, since you most likely won’t have access to a gym or any workout equipment while you’re away.
I’ve been there—I never used to know how to work out while traveling. But over time, I learned how to embrace HIIT and bodyweight training so that I can work out absolutely anywhere, no matter how much space or equipment I have available to me. And my goal is to help you do the same.
That’s why I’ve put together this summer vacation workout for you in today’s post. It requires absolutely zero equipment and very little space—so you have no excuses not to do it!

Get Ready for Summer With This No-Equipment AMRAP Workout
Depending on where in the world you live, it’s pretty likely that the snow is melting, the flowers are blooming, and the department stores are fully stocked with clothes not quite warm enough to fit the current outside temperature—all signs that summer is finally almost here.
And you know what that means: summer barbecues, long, lazy days, and best of all, days on the beach (or if you don’t have a beach nearby, a river or a pool).
Yes, bathing suit season is almost upon us.
And while I certainly don’t believe that looks are everything, it’s nice not to feel completely embarrassed when walking around in public half naked. In fact, it’s a pretty amazing feeling to actually feel confident (or at least, almost confident) in a bathing suit.
And the only way to get there? By working hard now.
That’s why today I’ve put together a special summer-ready AMRAP workout that you can do to get your body in tip-top shape before you show it off on the beach all summer long.

For those of you who have never heard of an AMRAP workout, it stands for ‘As Many Rounds as Possible’ and it’s pretty straightforward—just go through the sequence of exercises in the order listed below as fast as humanly possible in the allotted amount of time.
