TOP TIPS FOR STAYING HEALTHY ON HOLIDAY
Keeping fit and healthy whilst on holiday can often be challenging, especially when most people associate holidays with maximum indulgence and relaxation. Here are some top tips you can incorporate into your next holiday to ensure you don’t undo your progress, but are still able to enjoy your time away:
1) Stay hydrated: Drinking lots of water throughout the day will not only help keep you healthy and hydrated which is essential especially in warmer climates. But, drinking lots of water can also help reduce cravings, keep you satisfied and flush your body from any unwanted toxins which helps aid weight management.
2) Early bird gets the worm: No one wants to spend their days in the gym whilst on holiday. Waking up early and getting your workout in first thing can make sure you have the rest of the day to get the most out of your holiday, whether that means lazing around the pool or exploring new sights and experiences. Incorporating HIIT style training can also ensure you get the best full body workout in as little as 20mins.
3) Plan ahead: Planning ahead to some extent can help you to stay in control of your dietary intake whilst you enjoy your holiday. Packing a few essentials such as healthy snacks (Slender Blend sachets and Slender Bars for example) and also some light exercise equipment like resistance bands can make sure you stay on track any time any place. If you plan on having a heavy night out, you could even try and take it easier in the mornings. Having a light breakfast such as fruit and a slender blend shake means you can spend the rest of your day indulging and not having to worry.
4) NEAT: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis is energy burned whilst doing everyday activities such as walking, talking, shopping or just relaxing! Increasing energy burned doing these activities can help you to burn more calories without even realising. To increase NEAT whilst on holiday you could try incorporating the following: walking/exploring as much as possible, taking a dip in the sea/pool, getting a massage, taking part in beach yoga, or even hitting the dance floor!
5) Recover and relax: If your usual schedule is pretty hectic and/or you are following an intense workout regime, use your holiday time to help your body recover and relax from the usual everyday stressors. Adequate rest is actually essential for your mind and muscles to recover and can help you achieve your health and fitness goals quicker and allow you to go even harder when it’s time to get back to it!
Going on holiday doesn’t mean you have to go back to square one and start all over again once you return. Just following any of the above will allow you to live your best life and also set you up for post-holiday success.
