Yes, you can go on a vacation AND stay healthy!
Going on a vacation to a whole new country doesn't mean we need to abandon our commitment to a healthy lifestyle. With a bit of planning, you can strike a balance balance between being happy with the desserts while maintaining your fitness routine!
The real question here is: Is it possible to be on vacation and stay fit? To answer this, question let’s remember a few things that are essential to make this dream a reality.
Abs are made in the kitchen!
Exercise is crucial, but maintaining a healthy diet is the key. You don’t have to lose your mind with the delights that are being offered, focus on moderation and try to eat just the right amount without the need to feel stuffed! You have the opportunity to explore new things and flavors, so don't avoid everything like the plague. In destinations like the Caribbean, you can try local specialties like Jerk chicken or something more risky like iguana meat. It's the opportunity of a lifetime that you shouldn't just avoid, but keep moderation in mind.
Hit The Gym
Many hotels, resorts, and cruises provide a great fitness center. Please try to hit the gym at least three days a week! A big plus is that if you have been walking a lot during your vacations you already did cardio, and any exercise not only boosts energy but helps combat jet lag. Hey, now it's good that you walk around Epcot and Magic Kingdom so much, huh?
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Don’t you ever forget: staying hydrated is vital, especially in exotic destinations. Did you know that traveling itself can lead to dehydration, affecting your overall well-being? Keep a bottle of water with you at all times. Water = good! That's the best tip we can give, honestly.
Try Activities in the Water
If you are not a fan of a traditional gym workout, water sports are a good alternative, and the good thing is that most of these are available in resorts! We are talking about water skiing, surfing, kayaking, and snorkeling. You are not just doing a routine to keep your body in shape, you are also having a lot of fun.
We are here to help
Staying fit and eating healthy on vacation is a matter of mindful choices. If you are planning your next adventure, remember to enjoy it before any diet restrictions. At the end of the day, you are on vacation! Just don't eat five Mickey Ice-Creams at Magic Kingdom then five burritos at Epcot and you should be good.
