It’s
officially summer, and people everywhere will be packing their bags
this season and heading all over the world for an enjoyable getaway
and some fun in the sun. For some of us, vacation is a time to leave
everything behind and completely relax, but some of us can’t go a day
without training. Even though you won’t have access to a gym, there
is no reason why you can’t get in a good workout.
