Vacation Planning

Just got back from a great long weekend with husband and the kids, then I got to thinking... Summer is such a prime traveling time and for some, any kind of motivation dies away the moment you go into "vaca mode."

I've put together five of my favorite tips to make sure that you get your exercise in during these traveling months.

  • Make up your mind to be disciplined and to plan ahead - because good planning will get you everywhere.
  • When you get to your hotel, cruise ship, villa in the sky, check out the gym/spa area. Most properties like the Mandarin Oriental in London provides guests with running routes through the gorgeous Hyde Park and the city.
  • If you're a huge spa lover. make this your reward! The gym at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun has a great sauna (with teak loungers!), eucalyptus steam room, gorgeous Bvlgari products, and amazing showers.
  • Take advantage of the local cuisine but still keep some options that are healthy to consume.
  • Most of all remember that vacationing is not a vacation from eating healthy! So, don't go overboard, but enjoy yourselves!
