You recently got into a great fitness routine? Holidays are coming…as much as you are dying to get on that plane, we all know that deep down you are dreading those heavy meals, gelato and all. Holidays are definitely a time to enjoy, break the routine but we don’t want to ruin 6 months of intense workouts and strict diet in one week! What are your options? Booking a hotel that has a gym or bring your own gym with you! For the latter, we went to search for the best portable fitness equipment that won’t take up all the space and weight in your suitcase.

1. A Jumping Rope

Did you know that only 15 minutes of jumping rope can result in 200 to 300 calories burnt? Seriously the best cardio equipment to take on holiday! Oh, and did I mention it only costs about 40 AED and you can buy it online? 

Here’s a Reebok one available on Noon

2. Drybell Dry Bag Dumbbell

This is one of those hidden gems you wish you had invented. Such a simple but smart idea! A dry bag that you can fold and that weighs absolutely nothing therefore super easy to bring anywhere. Just fill it with sand or water to the desired weight and you have your perfect traveling and evolutive dumbbell/kettlebell.

3. Elastic Bands

A classic, but seriously amazing to take on holiday. They usually come in packs of 4, with different resistance. If you have your cardio and weight sorted with the above, you still need an extra to work out these legs, butt, and arms. Aerobic bands are by far the most versatile piece of equipment you can get your hands on.

4. Body Boss

All in one full portable gym. This super ingenious product combines an adjustable base, a collapsible workout bar, resistance bands, handles, limb straps for boxing and a door anchor to turn into a real cable fly machine.

6. eKO Super Light Foldable Yoga Mat

Yoga mats are usually folded in a round shape and they turn into the least convenient thing to put in a suitcase. Fortunately, there is an alternative: meet the eKO super light and foldable yoga mat. Think about having this even in your backpack should you feel like improvising a yoga session on the beach or at the top of a nice hill with an incredible view.
