Another weekend away!  I spent the weekend in Parksville with my family- exploring Cathedral Grove, playing at the play park, swimming in the pool, playing dominoes, going out for coffee, picking up rocks, and the list goes on.
Each day I gave myself 45 minutes to workout.  Working out on vacation means i have more energy during the day, I’m happier, I make healthier meal choices, and it’s easier to get back to routine when I’m home.  With 45 minutes, I decided to make the best of it….

Tanja’s Kick-Ass Workout
10 minute warm up- I did intervals on the treadmill in the hotel gym but if you don’t have a treadmill, do 1 min light jogging on the spot, 1 minute faster jogging, 1 minute jumping jacks, 1 min squats and repeat (8 min total).
