Fitness Friday
Don't let your vacation disrupt all of your hard work. It is possible to include a fitness routine during your travels this summer to help keep you on track.
As the summer months approach you may be looking at your calendar waiting for the start of your vacation, and all the fun you're going to have with your family. I bet the last thing on your mind is how you can fit in a workout while you're on the road, but it might be easier than you think to have fun explore your surroundings and burn some calories.
A New York Times article gives us some ideas, so we can stay on the right track for our health. One suggestion is creating a walking tour. Map out the location you plan on visiting, find some attractions that interest you and find a path to walk to them. You can get a feel for your destination, see some great sights, and inadvertently get a workout in. Walking not your thing? Try renting a bike and riding along the shore, or travel to a nearby trail and go for a hike. You'll be rewarded with sights and sounds of nature, and have an excuse to get out of your rental unit. Finally you can always look up body weight exercises/ workouts and do a quick circuit before you start your day, a great way to jump start your metabolism. Don't let summer travels get in the way of your goals, you can do it!
