It’s almost spring break (ok well it IS spring break for us here in South Florida)
And many of you will be traveling…
if not during spring break, soon over summer.
Here are some quick healthy & fit tips for when you’re traveling. First of all, make sure to check The Comfy Traveler where you will find all the traveling essentials you will need.
Make sure you pack your workout clothes and shoes…that way you have no excuse!
If you’re driving, stop every now and then and get out and stretch & walk around. If you’re flying, get up and stretch on flights. Moving around helps circulation and you won’t feel so tired once you arrive at your destination.
Once you reach your destination, walk to go sight seeing.
Try something new…surfing, skiing, whatever is popular in the area you’re visiting.
Visit the hotel gym (most places have gyms, pools with the best pool covers, spa). If not see if there’s a gym locally you can visit while you’re traveling.,
Enjoy the local foods, but don’t totally over indulge. Be aware of your caloric intake (and that includes drinks too!)
Stay hydrated. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day.
Get a good night’s sleep. Sleep is just as important eating healthy and maintaining your workout schedule.
Book a massage or visit the spa at the hotel to help unwind, alleviate stress and tension and simply allow yourself to relax and enjoy.
Question of the day
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
my child is 6
Ive not had a vaycay in 6 yrs.
HMMMMM 🙂
When I go on vacation, I always plan short workout routines. I try to get involved in sports activities wherever I go; for me it is a great way to stay active and on shape.
i don’t understand why spring break is so early here, didn’t kids just have christmas off 🙂
so i realized i’m a dork and i thought pinecrest was south, but you are totally north of me. no wonder you don’t go to south miami, doh!
I’d love a vacation right now! Mmm…Hot sun, sand and crystal blue water.
love the try new activites tip! vacation is the perfect place to try something new. less chance of running into someone you know while doing zoomba or something out of the ordinary for you 🙂
Favorite place to vacation? Anywhere warm 😉
Amanda, Pinecrest IS south of you…I’m in Pembroke Pines… north of the miami border…I live about 10 mins drive north of Dolphin Stadium or whatever it’s called now…sunlife? whatever…it changes names so often….that’s why I very rarely head to Miami! hate traffic, hate I95!
This is great tara! Especially since I’ll be traveling the next two weeks 🙂
I LOVE going to San Fran or Nova Scotia!!!
Every single vacation we go on, I find a race to run (sometimes more than one). Other than to visit family, we don’t go back places, but so far my favorite places have been Australia and Alaska. Both were pretty awesome.
Great tips Tara! 🙂 My favorite pale to vacation……. Belize. Ahhhh…
this is SUCH an important topic. especially for me… I’ve always traveled frequently. With being shuffled across the country to visit my dad, and a huge passion for traveling – I spend a good 60% of my time doing it… It wasn’t until last year that I actually started paying attention to exercising during my trips. oooof. nothing like a week of over indulging and not making up for it to totally screw with all your hard work…
also I love going down south. THE BEACH. i miss it now that i dont live near it. sigh
