Vacation Cardio

So you’re all set for your big summer vacation. You spent weeks depriving yourself of all the things you enjoy and when you look in the mirror all you can say is “Kim Kardahsian, eat your heart out!” But what happens to that swimsuit ready body once your vacation actually begins? Lets face it, the best part about vacationing is being over indulgent in everything that’s bad for you! So how do you keep your new body looking great through your travels? Here are great tips to help you keep up with your cardio.

Most vacation destinations offer a variety of activities that are fun and aerobic such as:

Walking or jogging on the beach

Have you ever tried doing this? It’s crazy how hard it is? Baywatch made it look so easy. You’ll definitely feel the burn.

Beach volleyball

Ah memories of Saved by the Bell. They all looked like they were having so much fun. Again, one of those things that’s not so easy to do in REAL life. That’s why it’s an Olympic sport.

Surfing, swimming, snorkeling, skiing or diving

Anything that involves water is going to get your heart rate up. You get your exercise for the day and check out life under the sea. Two birds, one stone.

Leisurely bike rides

Biking the terrain of whichever city, state, or country you’re visiting is a great way to see the sights. This is a great option for you and your significant other as well. Nothing says love like riding bikes through the country side.

Walking Tour

Go ahead and put your name on the list and create some camaraderie with your fellow travelers.

Shopping

No, your eyes do not deceive you. Just make sure you don’t get over excited and make the sales woman cut up your plastic.

These activities can keep you moving no matter where your travels take you.
