Getting Exercise on a Cruise Vacation

Just because you are going on vacation does not mean you have to take a break from your fitness routine. Use this guide to learn about some great ways to exercise on your next cruise:
 
Use the Gym
Most luxury cruises have on-board fitness centers where you can do some cardio and some light strength training. Some cruises even offer fitness classes where you can work out with some of your fellow shipmates. Take advantage of these fitness opportunities to stay active even while on vacation.
 
Make Your Own Gym
If the ship does not have a gym or you do not like the equipment they have, you can create your own gym. Bring a jump rope and head to the deck to get in your cardio while you stare out over the ocean. Spend some time power walking around the boat to get your heart pumping. Find a friend and do your own yoga practice on the deck. Swim some laps in the pool. With so much space on the ship, it is easy to find creative ways to workout.
 
Get Off the Ship
Instead of spending all of your time lying by the pool, you should take advantage of the excursions available when the boat docks in different locations. Whether you spend some time walking around a town or choose to participate in some local activities like kayaking, taking advantage of these excursions helps you burn some major calories.
