I'm starting with the assumption that you pack at least one set of workout clothes with you on your trips, vacations or getaways.  (Humor me.) Here's a very short, full body, no-equipment workout that you can do anywhere.  Any.  Where.  And when you're done you can lay your workout clothes on your patio chairs to …

So  we are in prime racing season people!  5K's, 10K's half marathons, bubble runs, mud runs, charity events and trail runs.  No matter where …
