Travelling means time spent waiting in airport transit lounges, trains or bus stations, all places have dozens of cafes and candy stores. Boredom and restlessness can drive you to buy candy bars, chips, chocolate and other high calorie foods that you simply we don't need. To avoid the junk food trap, pack your own healthy snacks like unsalted almonds, a few pieces of fruit or a low-calorie health bar. If traveling by plane, be sure to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Most airlines also have options for low calorie, low sodium and low fat in-flight meals. You can preorder one of these by checking-in online at least 48 hours before your flight depart and selecting these special meal choices.
Most hotels have swimming pools and you should certainly take full advantage of these for some cardio and to tone up your muscles. For an extra boost of fitness, supplement your in-room workouts with ten to fifteen laps in the pool. Before you leave for your destination, do some research and find out if there are any scenic walking or jogging paths close to where you stay. If there are, make it a point to use these in the morning. That way you can get your blood pumping and take in some fresh air while getting to know the city. If you enjoy cycling or hiking, find out where you can go to do these activities and plan a daytrip outdoors. Being out in nature, rather than in shopping malls and piazzas removes the temptation to sample exotic local treats every hour or so.
i think when traveling that's the time when we have to enjoy ourselves and not having to worry about anything including diets lol. give ourselves treats by eating foods that we haven't ate yet. indulge ourselves, and it's a once in awhile kind of thing anyway.
ReplyDeleteIt pays to really keep track of your health and fitness even during trips. Packing ur own healthy snacks when going to a trip is of great help.
ReplyDeleteyou're right we should pack healthy foods when we travel
ReplyDeletetraveling in itself is already a good exercise since your strength and stamina is being tested by long walks. but like you mentioned, yes, there are so many alternatives you can do to do exercises while traveling.
ReplyDeleteTravelling can sometimes break your diet as you will have frequent stops to to go foods or fast foods. So a good alternative is a must to at least not packed pounds while traveling.
ReplyDeleteNuts and lots of them makes a healthy travel buddy for me each time. With only nuts I can go a few hours without the full heavy meal.:D
ReplyDeleteYes, because mostly when you travel that's where you mostly tend to eat a lot. So i think it is better to just make a budget and maybe bring some healthy food instead.
ReplyDeleteoh yes they do! airports and hotels have a whole lot of temptations! but if you know how to control, then there's no problem with that. i think jhey lo is right, traveling does not often happen, so might as well splurge and indulge, it's not always and it's also giving yourself a break.. :-)
ReplyDeletei don't know if my comment got in... but like what i said, traveling does not always happen all the time, so might as well splurge and indulge... just once in a while... it's healthy too for the emotions... right?
ReplyDeleteit's really good to maintain being healthy and in shape, but traveling for me, i must enjoy that without doing too much of any of the stuff
ReplyDeleteNothing could be worse than get sick while traveling! It happened to me one time and I never got to enjoy sights and sounds as I was in pain. Uggh! What a terrible memory! haha!
