If
your family just decided to go on a cruise or may
be spend sometime alone with each other.
Are you worried, about missing your daily workout
routine?
Yes???.
Vacations should be fun and fun can be increased
if you keep yourself Fighting Fit.
Pre-vacation planning can help you and your family
to stick to healthy lifestyle activities and enjoy
their time off. Encourage them to research the
following while making their plans to have a
Fitness Vacation.
~ Is there an exercise area and swimming pool?
~ What additional recreational activities are
available? - biking trails, inline skating, parks,
walking/jogging paths.
~ Is there a fitness facility (YMCA, etc) nearby
that services the hotel guests?
~ What kind of exercise clothes and accessories
for planned exercise activities will be needed?
Plan at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week for
exercise (some of my routines take even less than
20 minutes). If driving long distances is part of
the vacation - walk briskly for a few minutes at
each rest stop. Walk briskly through the terminal
during long layovers in your Fitness Vacation.
* Rubber resistance bands or tubing for strength
training during your Fitness Vacation.
* Jump rope for cardiovascular exercise.
* Pushups, squats/lunges, abdominal exercises can
be done without equipment.
* Stretch daily.
Sit down with your family/friends brainstorm for
ways to include fitness in their vacations. Do a
"practice" vacation workout with them
before they leave on their Fitness Vacation.
Write their workout on a log and encourage them to
use it. Remember you can always use hotel/motel
stuff to work out like box jumps on bed (jump off
the floor on bed and jump down again etc) on the
Fitness Vacation.
