Stay fit on a vacation
EXPLORE
ON FOOT
Ditch bus, train and taxi. Walk it instead.
Walking is a great form of exercise, and above all, helps you save a lot of
money when you are out sightseeing.While burning loads of calories, walking
also helps you go deep into the local culture, people, food and music.
USE
NATURE AS YOUR GYM
Embrace the adventurous in you. If you are on an
island or a beach holiday, head to the water for your workouts. Resort pools are
a great place to pools are a great place t have fun and get fit and are
suitable for all ages. Swimming takes the weight off the spine and knees and
exercis es the muscles in a gentle way. Wake up early to start your day with a
swim; you can also recruit your friends and family to join in to make the
activity a lot more enjoyable. Try surfing, stand-up paddle boarding or
snorkelling to get some fresh air and wake up some muscles you may never have
known you had. Mountains are great for hiking, running, horse riding and
soaking up the surroundings.
TRY
THE LOCAL SPECIALTY
Take advantage of what an area's known for -or
even plan a vacation around it! Learn tai chi moves in China, or woo potential
suitors with flamenco moves in Spain. It's a great way to learn about a
different culture while getting fit.
DANCE
THE NIGHT AWAY
If you're heading to a destina tion that's known
for its nightlife and dance clubs, you're in for a lot of fun and fruitful
workouts. Mov ing to music not only en hances your mood, but also adds to the
relaxed vacation feeling.
EAT
AND DRINK SMART
No matter where you travel, you're bound to find
fresh and healthy high protein, high-fiber options to fill your plate. Avoid
sugar, processed foods, and simple carbs. If you're trying to save empty
calories during a nightout, go for Vodka or tequila with carbonated water and a
splash of fruit juice.
