- When vacationing try to find
a hotel that has a fitness center/and or a gym near
by that offers a free trial week. - If no free trials are available pay immediately for the entire week. You will most likely
be inclined to workout if you paid for it!
- Look for a local personal
trainer that owns a training studio. You could probably get a good deal for a couple of workouts and be done in as little
as 45 minutes without waiting around for equipment to open up.
- No gyms or trainers available.... go for
a brisk walk or jog for 20-60 min first thing in the morning. Vacations are usually a busy time for most people; better
get the workout in as soon and as early as possible.
- Don’t
want to the leave room. Push ups and crunches mixed in with exercise bands(bodylastics) can help you work up a sweat and stay fit.
- If possible book a room with a kitchen....buy some of your own food
and prepare at least one good healthy meal a day.
- Snack through out the day to prevent the fatted calf type meal at dinner
time: here are some good snack choices:
- Raw nuts with no added sugars or oils
- Yogurt
- 2-4 ounces
of cheese
- Fresh fruit
- Vegetables
- Pretzels, just don’t go overboard, a handful usually does the trick
- Mini rice cakes
(about 2-4) with a tablespoon of natural jelly or nut butters including cashew, almond or peanut butter.
- Protein shakes made
with whey or soy. These are great for on the road snacking. Mix one scoop with 8 ounces of water or juice in your shaker,
add some ice and you’re ready to go!
