We must also face the fact that the time-crunched nature of travel does not lend itself to a well-executed fitness regime.<\/p>\n<p>With this being said, we\u2019ve given ourselves enough excuses. We interviewed the personal trainers from Yogiiza, Acqualina\u2019s team of fitness experts, who have clued us on a few ways we can maximize our fitness routines in minimal time by choosing exercises that incorporate full body movements, use a great deal of energy, incorporate numerous muscle groups, and teach our bodies how to exercise more efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to get motivated? Find our top three favorite commercial break cardio exercises below.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>SQUATS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To begin, stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and lower your hips, mimicking the motion you make when you\u2019re about to sit in a chair.<\/li>\n<li>Bending your knees, make sure your thighs are parallel with the floor and ensure your knees don\u2019t go beyond your toes.<\/li>\n<li>Keep your chest up, look straight ahead, then stand up and repeat.<\/li>\n<li>Do three repetitions of 10.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Few exercises work as many muscles as the squat, making it an excellent, multi-purpose activity useful for toning and tightening your behind, abs, and legs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7402 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat.jpg\" alt=\"Staying Active\" width=\"730\" height=\"465\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat-300x191.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 730\/465;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat.jpg\" alt=\"Staying Active\" width=\"730\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat.jpg 730w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/squat-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>PLANKS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Begin in the push-up position<\/li>\n<li>Lower both forearms to the ground so that both your elbows and fists are flat to the ground.
