It is not uncommon to be driving to your destination this holiday season, which means more time sitting in the car and less time walking or exercising.
One thing that I always make sure to have in my trunk for long car rides is a jump rope. My family tends to stop frequently while on road trips, so at each rest stop I like to do a mini jump-rope session (five minutes or so). Now that I have kids, I bring jump ropes for the girls too, so that they can burn some energy while mommy is burning calories. Plus, then I won't feel so bad indulging in a piece of pie (or two) once I get to my destination.
Fit's Tip: Jessica Simpson got great results from jumping rope, so it's worth a shot!

Meh, not a bad idea...
1I keep a jump rope in my car just for that reason. I use it for when I go to my parents' house where there aren't a lot of fitness options. I also pack one when I go on trips so I can jump rope at the hotel.
2I don't have one in my car but I have a super light jump rope in my suitcase at all time. Whenever I pack for traveling, I know I have it with me. With a pair of sneakers for running and my ipod it's all I need to keep fit when traveling.
3Interesting, I just went to visit my parents for the holidays and a jump rope was one of the first things I packed. Great for poor weather as well, as I can turn on the radio in the garage and get a pretty good workout.
4Ah, I almost bought a jump rope today!
