Tips to stay in shape while on vacation

How am I going to stay fit and healthy while on vacation?

A common concern for those who don't take a vacation from a fit body, even when it's time to 'disconnect' from everyday routines.

Of course, for many people, exercise is simply an active way to relax and recharge, and they can't imagine traveling without exercising their body (and therefore their mind).

But, it's worth realizing that you need days to rest and free yourself from all the worries, including keeping in shape during the holidays.

Set goals for your vacation

Do the best you can, without pressure to avoid harming the main objective of your holiday.

Before going on a trip, decide if you are going to travel and train or if the focus will be rest and relaxation, so that your fit moment does not become an additional stress factor.

Don't force the body to train when it needs rest.

Hydrate yourself throughout the day

Dehydration is synonymous with dry and dull skin, fluid retention, constipation, acidity in the blood and tissues and, of course, premature aging.

Since in summer, due to perspiration, fluid loss is greater, the need to ingest fluids increases.

Pre-manage the feed

Place your order at fitben.com so that you don't miss anything fit on your vacation.

Knowing in advance what kind of food you will find at the holiday destination will also help you in planning your food.

Do a search for supermarkets in the area where you are going to settle, to see if you can find more organic options or with natural products.

Exercise daily

Some vacations are more active than others. Those that involve visiting cities or some kind of sport are perfect for exercising and feeling in shape.

If the destination is more directed towards the “dolce fare niente” in the good fashion of the Italian philosophy,

invest in a simple daily walk, stretching, yoga classes, etc. The important thing is to dedicate 15 pinkies of your time.

Training and/or travel companions?

It's always a good idea to invite fellow travelers to join a fitness experience! Whether romantic, parental or with friends, what will prevail will be the motto “together, we are stronger”.

However, vacations are vacations and everyone sets their plans according to what they need and like. Therefore, if the travel company is not available to accompany you, we have another motto for you “better alone than a bad (companion) sportsman”.

Time to sleep

For your vacation to be regenerating, send your alarm clock on vacation when you clearly need sleep.

Disconnect from routine, from problems and surrender to the philosophy of “dolce fare nienti” that Italians know so well how to appreciate.

These tips will, in addition to helping you keep your fitness side this holiday, help you to exercise the art of prioritizing well-deserved rest.

Free your mind and happy holidays!
