Vacation

I'm on my way to the airport, on flight to ROME for a Mediterranean cruise. In preparation for my trip, I came up with a short list of travel tips to stay fit.

Consider the following for your next vacation:

• Pack food for the airport: Depending on the airport, there are very few "healthy" options for quick food. Also, airport stores don't have much to offer for snack foods. Most nuts and bars are loaded with salt and sugars. Bring a few sandwiches, raw-dry roasted almonds and or a protein bar to satisfy your hunger while in transit.


• Do some homework: Does your hotel have a gym? If so, what type of equipment? If not, plan to a hotel workout. Think about what movements you can mimic without equipment and create a circuit. Even 2-3, quick workouts will go a long way


• Keep some dicipline! Most people think vacation and go wild, throwing away months of hard work. Try to eat habitually clean for most of the day, then indulge in one meal per day.


• Take advantage of outdoor surrondings: Whether your traveling to a hot or cold climate, check out what sites you can see outdoors. This is a great way to expand your horizons, see some amazing stuff and burn calories.


• Most of all its important to enjoy your vacation and have a good time

Vacation is vacation and as you should enjoy it, make sure not to become over complacent - it's much tougher to get back into to it then it is to maintain.
