You are on vacation or have a little free time to play - hmm, so what to to do and still keep your fitness level rockin'? In a word - PLENTY! Vacation and free time are golden opportunities for you to be creative and try new sports, alternative physical activities, exercise with friends, and explore the world one adventure at a time.

I've never been one to use my free time to lay around and vegetate - even on vacation. Whether you are vacationing away from home or can only afford a stay-cation in the Los Angeles and Santa Monica areas, you are in luck - beaches, parks, hiking trails, par courses, jungle gyms and TigerFit Boot Camp are just the tip of the iceberg for fitness ideas. Now, get outside and play!

Tiger Fitness Top 11 Exercise Tips: At Play

1. Plan family outings and vacations that include physical activity (hiking, backpacking, swimming, etc.) - Think Yosemite, Lake Arrowhead, Griffith Park or the Santa Monica Mountains.

2. See the sights in new cities by walking, jogging or bicycling. - Take the bikes on a train to Santa Barbara or San Diego. Two of the best vacations I have ever taken!

3. Make a regular exercise date with a friend to enjoy your favorite physical activities. - Boogie boarding or fitness boot camp are great to do with friends.

4. Play your favorite music while exercising, something that motivates you. - Create a soundtrack for your exercise adventure.

5. Dance with someone or by yourself. Take dancing lessons. Hit the dance floor on fast numbers instead of slow ones. - Boogie, boogie, boogie!

6. Join a recreational club that emphasizes physical activity. - Adult club soccer teams, kick-ball or jogging groups are all great choices.

7. The beach is one big sandbox. - Volleyball, boogie-boarding, surfing, body-surfing, swimming and sand runs are the best!

8. When golfing, walk instead of using a cart.- Work off that candy bar you got at the 9th hole!

9. Play singles tennis or racquetball instead of doubles. - Now hit the court Andy and Serena!

10. At a picnic, join in on badminton instead of croquet. - Try to pick an activity that does not allow you to hold a cocktail!

11. At the lake, rent a rowboat instead of a canoe. - Such a great upper-body ripper!

12. At Dodgger Stadium, park further away and briskly walk the rest. If you can't park further away, then walk around the stadium twice. Burn-off all those nachos and beers before you even take a seat!

With just a little ingenuity the sky is your fitness limit, now get away from your computer and go play!
