Hey Chick,<\/p>\n

We know summer season is here and let’s be honest, do you actually work out on the weekend or at the cottage?<\/p>\n

Don’t feel bad if you don’t. I don’t think most people do.<\/p>\n

I headed to CTV Ottawa last week <\/a><\/strong>to take peeps through how to still get a fierce strength training workout at the cottage and it got me thinking “How many people ACTUALLY work out on the weekend?”<\/strong> (well other than the bicep curl of bringing a cocktail to your mouth :). Then it moved to my next thought “If that is the case, how can we HELP you get inspired to workout on the weekend?”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I truly believe a lot of peeps don’t exercise when they are away NOT because they don’t want to but because you have NO IDEA what to do!<\/strong> (Especially when it comes to strength training on the road. Who wants to lug 15lb dumbbells on vacation?!).<\/p>\n

And there is nothing worse than feeling like you are in an awesome fitness routine, being consistent and feeling fierce then suddenly you go away for 2 weeks, throw in the towel as you aren’t sure re exercises and come home feeling like crap.<\/p>\n

So in this CTV Ottawa spot,<\/a> my true goal is to get you comfortable (and pumped!) to try<\/strong> one of the most under used but super awesome pieces of fitness equipment for you to keep on track – the resistance band!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I personally use them all the time and love them. Why do I love them for resistance training especially for workouts on the road?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022Resistance bands help you build and maintain muscle to burn more <\/strong>muscle when doing nothing.
\n\u2022You can do ANY strength training exercise with bands<\/strong> that you can do with weights
\n\u2022They are light weight and portable<\/strong> (but you can get resistance bands equivalent to up to 200lb weights so don’t think they are easy!)
\n\u2022They are cheap!<\/strong> It is like having a full weight set in your purse for less than $20<\/p>\n

So this weekend as we get geared up to head away, no you have NO EXCUSE to not work those guns while away. <\/strong> A 20 min resistance band routine can go a long way so add this to your summer fun toolbox<\/p>\n

Hope this helps chicks and happy training!<\/p>\n
