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.
