Theres only one answer to this. Pilates. All you'll need is a towel or a
floor mat, and tie your hair back if its windy. You don't need any
equipment. Sure there is Pilates equipment but theres an entire routine of
floor mat exercises that don't require equipment. So you can do this
anywhere, anytime, anyplace. Except inside your vanagon. Honestly this is
the one bad thing about the vanagon. If this were a Chevy Van there would be
plenty of room. You can buy a book on this at Barnes and Noble. The one I
have is by Mari Winsor (I think thats her name). I've seen another one by
another girl covering the same routine: hundreds, rolling like a ball et et.
I do this whole routine as a warm up to running although it is an exercise
in itself. Once you've got it down you can pretty much do the whole thing in
15 minutes.
