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!
