Top 6 Ways to Stay Healthy on Vacation

Living a healthy lifestyle #1

* How you eat, how you exercise, how you live which also includes your thoughts

* If you don’t exercise at home small chance you’ll exercise on vacation

* People look forward to vegging out or sun tanning

#2 Plan before you go

* I’m not a planner but realized how important it is

* Book a place with a kitchen (save money, feels more like home)

* Look for farmers markets, talk to farmers, meet people

* Stay next to grocery stores in case you have to walk

* Talk about uber

* How will you get around, walk, bike, bus

* I walked miles each day

Stay healthy on vacation by visiting local farmers markets

#3 Stay active

* If you live a healthy lifestyle it doesn’t matter where you are, you still work out

* Working out makes me feel better

* It gives me energy, self confidence

* Find different things to do, this goes with planning ahead

* yoga, pilates, bikes, roller blades, conventional gyms (venice beach)..change your environment, hikes (talk about our hike)

The infamous muscle beach in Venice, Ca. There’s placed to workout everywhere, doesn’t matter where you’re at.

#4 Preparing your own foods

* So earlier I said prepare by booking a kitchen – huge advantage, save money, make yourself feel better.

* Teach the kids how to cook

* Make it fun, give everyone a chance to prepare a meal

* You don’t have to go out every night,

* just because you’re on vacation doesn’t mean you have to eat out every night

* Bring lunches and snacks with you

 

#5 Find other things to do

* So when the sun goes down and there’s nothing really to do find something

* This doesn’t have to be a time to turn the tv on or put on a movie like we do at home

* If you’re in a different area go and explore

* 3rd street promenade

* Concert at the beach

* Exercise at night

* Go for a long walk

* Game room

#6 Enjoy yourself

* Everyone enjoys themselves at different levels

* Find a happy medium

* Eat chips, drink beer but stay active

* Make healthier choices when out at a restaurant

* You’ll pay for them later

* Stomach or digestion issues

* Not feeling well

* Have dessert but sparingly
