Stay On Track During The Summer Vacation


The end of Summer is coming and everyone is either on or wrapping up their vacations.  Did or have you kept active during your Summer vacation? If so, what did you do to remain active? If not, are you planning on getting back on track? If you never have been able to get serious before, are you planning on getting fit and healthy before New Year’s?

Being on vacation is a brief break to enjoy family and friends time without worrying about work. Whether you all travel hundreds miles away or stay around in the nearby area, you should remain active as much as you can while on vacation. The key is not to look at your workouts as a choir, but as your “me” time. The time used to release stress, burn calories, and feel strong and healthy!

There are many different ways to remain active on your vacation. An early morning walk, jog, or run on the beach to just simply using the gym located at your hotel or at a nearby location. Resistance bands are great from of strength training you can use when there is no access to a gym. They can be manipulated into several exercises that will train the entire body. To make sure you get a great workout, buy a light, a medium, & a heavy resistance band. Whatever type of physical activity you prefer, just make sure to include both resistance and cardiovascular training in your program.


 What you do not want to do is take 2 weeks or more off from the gym. Getting back into the grind is not as easy as it seems when you take too much time off. It is almost like starting over with those lovely symptoms of soreness, stiffness, & crankiness. Therefore, it will be very easy to say, “Naw, I'll start tomorrow. Then, tomorrow will be next week and so forth. Do not keep letting yourself down and stay on track this Summer!
