Summer officially starts June 20 for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and as the school year wraps up and the clouds clear, many are packing their bags for summer travel. While summertime often means a break from routine, it doesn’t have to mean a break from fitness. Don’t forget to toss your jump rope in your suitcase, and pick your favorites from these no-equipment or limited-equipment workouts. You can knock these out on the beach, in your hotel room, or out in the open where you can get some fresh air and use your fitness to inspire fellow vacationers during your trip!
