Vacations the Right Way!

With fall already upon us, and the holidays quickly approaching, it is important to prepare for the ever-difficult vacation season. Vacations are one of the most difficult times for people to maintain their fitness and diet programs. This difficulty happens for many reasons. Daily routines are inconsistent; exercise equipment is difficult to access; and food is typically unhealthy. If you do go on vacation, here are a few tips to not lose your hard-earned fitness progress:

First, if at all possible, book a hotel with a fitness center. Having a fitness center in your hotel will give you access to a treadmill and some basic dumbbells to use for a short daily workout.

Second, follow the “eating out” tips, as you’ll likely spend a lot of time in restaurants. For example, order small portions, have dressing and gravy on the side, drink water, etcetera. Third, don’t neglect your morning metaboost and daily carb-cycling. Even if you can’t get to a computer to get a new metaboost, make sure you do something physical in the morning. Take a walk, jog on a treadmill, or do your favorite “shape the states” exercise in your hotel room. This will wake up your metabolism and make sure your body still burns calories efficiently, even if you enjoy pumpkin pie or holiday ham later that day!
