Vacation does not have to be the demise of your weight loss program. The following information will help to show you how to lose weight on vacation. When planning your trip include physical activities along with where you are staying, what you are doing when you get to your destination and items to pack.

Make it a family effort. Strive to improve the health of your entire family. You will end up not only building muscles but also relationships with your family members.

When one thinks about vacation, thoughts of spending your time lounging, eating unhealthy foods and consuming calorie laden beverages.
When shopping places to stay on your vacation, I would like to recommend staying at a vacation house. This will give you the capabilities of cooking healthy meals. You will not be sabotaging your weight loss program. Granted a lot of people do not want to spend their time cooking on vacation, but your meals do not have to be elaborate … just healthy.

In addition, you can save a LOT of money not eating out at restaurants. If you do stay at a hotel, check out the restaurants in the area for “healthy” choices. With more people being health conscious nowadays, restaurants are catering more to people desire to eat healthy.

The list below contains some suggestions of ways you can incorporate more physical activity while you are vacationing:

If you are staying at the beach, swimming in the ocean and battling the waves can burn a lot of calories. Also, long walks on the beach are always enjoyable allowing you to burn calories and build leg muscles. Get involved with the kids tossing a Frisbee, or playing volleyball.

Visit a National Park. Enjoy hiking and taking in the beauty of the trails. The fresh air and exercise will contribute to a great night’s sleep.

If you are visiting a historical locale, take a walking tour as opposed to a bus or other motorized tour. You will see a lot more walking, burn calories and get exercise!

Renting bicycles and touring the area is always a great option, and one the children will definitely enjoy. Just be sure you obey all of the traffic rules and know where you are going.

If you are traveling in the winter time, skiing, ice skating, snowboarding or sledding is a lot of fun. All of these sports will give you a definite workout and be fun for the entire family. You can still spend time socializing in front of a cozy fireplace.

Wherever you go on vacation you will most likely find a swimming pool. Do laps with the children, or by yourself.

If you are involved with an exercise program at home where you are doing yoga, muscle building, strength resistance or just walking you can take simple portable equipment, that you can pack in your suitcase, on vacation to keep you on track with your exercise regimen.

If you are a yoga enthusiast, consider packing Yoga Paws. These are mini Yoga mats for your hands and feet. These weigh two pounds and four ounces and would be absolutely convenient for traveling if you are concerned with your luggage weight. Throw in your favorite DVD and you will be prepared to stay on track. You can also find travel Yoga mats.

The SPRI Xertube Resistance Bands come with a door attachment and exercise chart and will be like a gym away from home. They come in medium, heavy and extra heavy. These bands provide you with a highly versatile way to add resistance training to your workout anytime and anywhere. Each kit includes two illustrated charts of exercises, including bicep curls, shoulder presses, and back extensions. Designed for light and speedy mobility, the strap can be rolled up to stash in a gym bag or suitcase.

Last time I checked these items were all in stock at Amazon.com and they are eligible for the Free Super Saver Shipping Program.

Personally, I do a walking program with Leslie Sansone’s “Walk Away the Pounds Express”. You will usually have a DVD player where you are staying and you will be able to walk and do this program in the air conditioning! If you are not already using this program, this is something you will enjoy doing once you get back home from your vacation! Bad weather, or hot summer heat does not have to put a stop to your walking the weight off. I would encourage you to click on the links below and read the reviews of people who have purchased these DVD’s.

I hope this information will be helpful in showing you how to lose weight on vacation.

I wish you happy, safe travels!

17 Ways to Save Money When You Travel!

Author: Judy Conway

As cool fall weather sets in, our thoughts turn the holidays. It is time to start planning to make travel arrangements to go home and be with loved ones. Now is the time to start planning so that we will be able to get the best deals out there.

With the economy the way it is and airline and travel expenses on the rise I would like to offer some assistance. To help you with your planning I would like to offer you a free report filled with cheap travel tips. Check out this Free Report from Globe Cheap. See how much you can save on your next getaway.

Whether you are dreaming of a winter skiing destination, or would rather escape to a warm paradise, these tips will help you save big on your next winter vacation.

1. Make a vacation budget and stick to it

How much can you afford, exactly? Find out now, or else have a plan to have a specific amount saved up by the time winter rolls in.

2. Plan well in advance

When it comes to budget travel, time is one of your most important tools. You need time to make advance reservations

and to research the best deals.

3. Shop around

Now is the time to go comparison shopping for travel options, accommodations, and major attractions.

4. Compare different modes of travel

Depending on where you would like to go, various means of traveling will have different costs. Also consider how many people are traveling. If you are a family, it’s usually cheaper to drive than to fly. If you’re traveling solo, you may have more options – including carpooling with friends or family.

5. Ask for discounts

Sometimes you just have to ask, to receive discounts. At the hotel or airline, for example, ask for free upgrades on your room or flight. Ask your credit card provider about travel options they offer to clients at reduced rates, such as travel insurance coverage, etc. Don’t forget to ask hotel/hostel owners and tour operators for discount coupons, such as to the nearest attractions.

6. Share a vacation rental

If you are traveling in a group, or can find family and friends to vacation with, sharing a rental house for a flat fee can be very economical.

7. Try a hostel

Hostels go for as as low as $20/night, so they’re a budget option you should consider.

8. Cook your own meals

Eating out can be very expensive. Stay in hotels or rentals where you can cook your own meals. Or pack your meals in a cooler, if you are traveling by car. Check out the hotels that offer a free breakfast. This is especially helpful when you are traveling with children. It is amazing how expensive just getting coffee can be and it adds up over a period of a week or two.

9. Get as many discounts as you can

If you are a student or traveling with a student, make sure to bring student ID cards or International Student Cards. This free report from Globe Cheap lists other discounts you or a family member may be eligible for. Also explore discount passes when buying online or by certain dates. If you are a Senior Citizen be sure to ask for your discount price.

10. Borrow equipment

If you are going skiing, bring your own or borrowed equipment rather than renting them at the resort. If you plan to go skiing often, it’s probably cheaper to buy our own equipment in the long run, instead of renting every time.

11. Explore discount packages

Hotels and travel agencies usually offer packages that include travel, accommodation, meals and entrance to various attractions. These usually cost less than if you paid for each one individually. They usually also offer discounts for early booking. One word of advice is to be sure to check out the cancellation policies.

12. Travel off-season

The peak season for traveling in winter is around Christmas and New Year. If you don’t mind traveling around those dates, you’ll find everything cheaper. It’s also usually cheaper to travel on weekdays or midweek rather than on weekends.

13. Consider warm-weather destinations

Looking to escape from the cold? Consider places where the US dollar goes farther, such as small Caribbean islands, Mexico, and parts of Central America and Asia. Some destinations within the United States are also cheaper in the cold season.

14. Don’t touch the minibar

Bring everything you need so you won’t have to open the water bottle in the hotel, or get snacks from the minibar. You’ll pay ridiculous prices for these! Some hotels also charge extra if you request additional towels and toothbrushes. If you must, buy extra supplies at the nearest grocery store, not from the hotel. And don’t forget to pack those over-the-counter medications you usually use! It is amazing what a package of aspirins costs in a vending machine.

15. Stay off the beaten path

Consider staying a little farther from major attractions. You will save tons on accommodations – as long as you will not be paying through the nose for public transportation or parking.

16. Camp out

If you’re going to a warm destination, plan to go camping. It’s a very cheap traveling alternative. If you’re driving, find the cheapest places to get gas.

17. Look for free attractions

Entrance fees to tourist attractions can also add up very quickly. Do some research to find free attractions at your destination. These could include malls, national parks and historic streets or towns. Find out when museums are open to the public for free.
