We’re headed to Alentejo, Portugal! The weather will be beautiful. You can expect it to be warm and sunny during the day and a little chilly at night. We’ll be exploring the countryside and working out in the yoga pavilion, on the beach, in the pool, and heading out on the road (like, hiking and walking to the beach).
I tend to pack light and re-use outfits whenever I can.
Our Activation workouts are hybrid (think: half pool and half studio), so you’ll want supportive bathing suit tops and items that you don’t mind getting dirty on the beach.
We will be in the country, so high heels or anything too dressy isn’t really necessary.
Activation Essentials:
1-2 regular bras
3-5 sports bras
2-3 bathing suits
Plenty of socks

1-2 pair of long pants

A HAT for beach/pool workouts

Sunscreen
A packable beach bag (We received feedback that a backpack is optimal for when you have to run/walk back from the beach)

LB Activation Tips:
Don't over-pack, you'll be living in your swimsuit + workout gear.
Consider taking Probiotics. Taking probiotics leading up to and throughout the trip may help you combat any digestive issues or upset stomachs that tend to be pretty common when traveling outside of the country.
Please bring your own personal first aid kit. You may need something for pain, sore muscles (clear-colored tiger balm), cramps, allergies/sinus, PMS, upset stomach, ear plugs, band-aids, Dramamine, sea bands, zinc, after sun balm, or any medications that you take on a regular basis. If you have ankle or knee issues, don't forget your brace.
