How to keep fit when you’re traveling during the holidays
Treasure Tower Rewards Canada Ltd. on 2024 Nov 26th
Build your fitness plans around the vacation, not the other way around. You might not have access to the facilities you’d need for a full CrossFit workout in a tiny Italian village, but sightseeing along might help you hit 2-3 times your 10,000 step goal. Find peace with the fact that your goals might change based on access to equipment, your vacation location, and your sightseeing plans. You don’t want to miss out on something phenomenal you could only do in your vacation destination because you were doing crunches in your hotel room.
Plan ahead: Research your destination to find gyms, exercise facilities, or parks with outdoor gyms. Plan your workouts in advance and schedule time for them in your day.
Stay hydrated: Bring a water bottle and add a pinch of salt to replace lost electrolytes.
Do bodyweight exercises: Bodyweight exercises require no equipment and can be done anywhere, like in your hotel room or poolside. Squats are a great exercise that can be done anywhere and build your legs, back, and glutes.
Join online workouts: You can take part in online fitness classes at home.
Explore local gyms: If your accommodation doesn't have a gym, you can research local gyms or ask on a community group.
Set goals: Set realistic fitness goals to hold yourself accountable and increase your motivation.
Go on active sightseeing adventures: You can try to incorporate some activity into your sightseeing.
