The Travelling Fairy DancerHow To Exercise Without Noticing On Holiday
September 25th 2008 08:25
Lamenting the bottles of wine, buttery bread, chocolate pastries and fried cheese hanging over the waist band of your jeans post-holiday?
Many of us do, so next time how about adding some exercise into the mix, without the monotony? While you don't want to deprive yourself of delicious, cultural food, daily exercise will at least help you combat the after-affects.
Lazing on an island paradise? While you're snorkelling among the colourful coral, amp up your speed a bit. Thirty minutes of vigorous swiming can help with the extra few pieces of bacon you had for breakfast.
An energetic game of frisbee, beach volleyball or cricket after lunch will have you working up a sweat, and working off the chips in no time.
Cycling is a fantastic way to orientate yourself with your holiday destination. Wide bike paths and easy to hire bikes are on offer all over the world and make a brilliant alternative to expensive taxi rides and crowded buses. Plus bonus exercise.
The humble walk is often overlooked as a fitness tool. Shopping can include brisk power walks in between stores, adding to your stock of incidental exercise as you speed towards your next purchase.
Whether you hit the dance floor at a club, learn to tango or join in on a hip hop class, dance will get your heart rate and your mood up; all the while burning off the bottle of wine from last night's gourmet dinner.
With exercise on holidays, you can have your cake and eat it too.
