- Learn about your hotel’s offerings before you go. Most hotels offer some fitness amenities, but call the concierge desk in advance to find out as many details as possible. Do they have treadmills, bikes and elliptical cross-trainers? What about strength-training equipment? If cardio machines have USB tracking, make sure to pack a USB stick to continually track your workout. Some resorts and cruises even offer specialty classes and activities for their guests. By knowing what’s in store, you can create a fitness plan of attack.
- Schedule your workout. Just as you schedule time during your day to workout at home, set aside fitness breaks during your vacation. The experts at Life Fitness recommend warming up for the day with a walk on the treadmill, a spin on an exercise bike or some time with the weights. Exercising early can inspire you to make healthier choices throughout the day.
- Pack for fitness. There’s no need to overload your suitcase with workout gear – this is a vacation after all – but do pack a couple of workout outfits and appropriate footwear to get you through the holiday. The sight of those running shoes may be just the right motivation to get you moving.
Remember, remaining active throughout your trip will help you gain helpful energy to maximize your vacation time, and can ensure that your work clothes still fit when you return home.
