However, there is no reason why a small portion of the day can’t be dedicated to perhaps keeping that belly trim – but if you are lacking proper gym facilities it can be hard to do so! So instead of packing a bench press into your suit case, have a look at these fantastic portable fitness gadgets from 2012 which will surely do their best to keep that belt buckle from going up a few notches whilst you’re away.
