Ah, the joys of getting away. If you are like most, you increase your workout level prior to going on vacation and severely decrease it while on vacation. While the food intake tends to decrease prior to going on vacation and severely increase while on vacation. Well, it doesn’t take a mathematician to know the outcome; the weight on the scale will be higher after vacation.
The must do: pack workout clothes and shoes. The goal is to try to counter the increased food intake with at least light to moderate consistent exercising while on vacation. To accomplish the goal, keep the exercising routines simple and quick – body weight exercises work well. Also, if you know the location will have a gym, plan to hit the gym for 20 minutes during off peak hours. Get in and get out. After all, you are on vacation.
Another option is to simply partake in vacation type activities like canoeing, beach volleyball, swimming, walking, etc. If you are the sunbathing on vacation type, then perhaps consider downloading a beach yoga routine on your phone.
Staying activity on vacation will help to balance your mood once the vacation is over.
