I’ll admit it — I’m one of those people that actually enjoys working out on vacation. I’m aware that many people view travel as an opportunity to take a break from the gym, but the endorphin boost I get from exercise is not something I can’t skip for even a handful of days. However, it’s a rarity that I’m staying somewhere that offers the luxury of a gym. Enter: resistance bands.

I’ve been using Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands for years now, and this best-seller on Amazon with more than 81,900 five-star ratings is so easy to throw into any carry-on suitcase for a light sweat session, no gym needed. The best part? They’re currently on sale for 38 percent off.

These sturdy, colorful resistance loops are 12 inches by 2 inches, coming in five different levels of resistance from light to extra heavy. That means they’re perfect for any fitness level, and are easily utilized in all kinds of full-body exercises, from squats to tricep extensions, allowing you to have a great workout from the comfort of your hotel room or home.

Made of high-quality natural latex (that’s a rubber and thermoplastic elastomer), these bands are tear-resistant during even your most intense workouts. I can attest that after four years with my bands, they’re still in as good shape as ever. In fact, I can get almost as good of a workout with these bands as in the gym, especially since  the strong bands can withstand up to 74 pounds of resistance. That’s not to mention they come with a travel-friendly bag you can throw them into once your workout is complete and a handy instruction guide for some additional fitness inspiration.
