Top 6 Ways to Stay Healthy on Vacation
Living a healthy lifestyle #1
- How you eat, how you exercise, how you live which also includes your thoughts
- If you don’t exercise at home small chance you’ll exercise on vacation
- People look forward to vegging out or sun tanning
#2 Plan before you go
- I’m not a planner but realized how important it is
- Book a place with a kitchen (save money, feels more like home)
- Look for farmers markets, talk to farmers, meet people
- Stay next to grocery stores in case you have to walk
- Talk about uber
- How will you get around, walk, bike, bus
- I walked miles each day
#3 Stay active
- If you live a healthy lifestyle it doesn’t matter where you are, you still work out
- Working out makes me feel better
- It gives me energy, self confidence
- Find different things to do, this goes with planning ahead
- yoga, pilates, bikes, roller blades, conventional gyms (venice beach)..change your environment, hikes (talk about our hike)
#4 Preparing your own foods
- So earlier I said prepare by booking a kitchen – huge advantage, save money, make yourself feel better.
- Teach the kids how to cook
- Make it fun, give everyone a chance to prepare a meal
- You don’t have to go out every night,
- just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you have to eat out every night
- Bring lunches and snacks with you
#5 Find other things to do
- So when the sun goes down and there’s nothing really to do find something
- This doesn’t have to be a time to turn the tv on or put on a movie like we do at home
- If you’re in a different area go and explore
- 3rd street promenade
- Concert at the beach
- Exercise at night
- Go for a long walk
- Game room
#6 Enjoy yourself
- Everyone enjoys themselves at different levels
- Find a happy medium
- Eat chips, drink beer but stay active
- Make healthier choices when out at a restaurant
- You’ll pay for them later
- Stomach or digestion issues
- Not feeling well
- Have dessert but sparingly
