It can be tempting to skip exercise on vacation! However, staying active is key for maintaining overall well-being. Here are some practical tips:
- Set Realistic Expectations. Vacations are meant for relaxation, but don’t ignore your exercise routine altogether. Be realistic about how often you can work out during your trip. Remember, any exercise is better than none.
- Plan Ahead. Before you travel, check out your options. Some hotels have fitness facilities.
- Stay Active. If you cannot find a gym, find other ways to keep moving. Walk instead of driving. Take the stairs. Perform body weight exercises like push-ups. These small efforts add up. Read Walk Your Way to Fitness, store.extension.iastate.edu/Product/5530, for more information.
- Embrace Adventure. Get creative with your activity. Instead of sticking to your usual routine, plan an adventure. Try biking or hiking. Explore new trails. Go kayaking. Different activities engage muscles you might not use regularly.
- Do Not Stress. Don’t worry about missing your usual workouts. Enjoy your vacation time and relax. Be sure to return home ready to get back into your fitness routine. So go ahead, explore, and keep moving while making memories! If you need a little extra relaxation, try THCA pre rolls to help ease any tension and enhance those moments of peace while you unwind.
