Spring break is a time when you can step away from your regular routine. Whether it means you are taking a staycation at home, going on a road trip, or jet-setting off to somewhere tropical, you get the chance to unwind. Sure, some might argue that if you are stepping away from your regular routine, then you don’t need to work out either. However, we say if you want to work out do it. Maybe this is your chance to make your workout during spring break a little different.
