Walking is such a great form of exercise. It will help to keep you healthy and fit for life. However, some people seem to forget about their walking program for one reason or another when they go on vacation. Here are some tips to help you keep walking while you are on vacation.
Actually, walking on vacation is great. You can explore areas that you may not go to if you were not walking. I've found great restaurants that are off the beaten path that I would not have found if I was not out exercising. It will also help you to feel not as guilty with the extra eating that usually happens during a vacation.
You should talk with your family and let them know that you are keeping up with your walking while you are on vacation. They will appreciate the fact that you are keeping up with your program and they may even want to join you. Letting them know in the beginning that you are going to still exercise will help to not have problems later.
If you are on a trip (whether for business or pleasure) you may find that you are in an area that you are unsure of. Ask the desk at your hotel for safe walking paths. You are not the only one that has asked them that - and they are usually prepared with a map. They will also tell you of areas to stay away from. If you are still feeling uneasy - hit the treadmill in the hotel's fitness center to get your walking done.
Make sure that you walk at the same time each day. If you are on a business trip - the best thing is to get up early and get it done before the first meeting. This way you will not worry about getting it done later - especially when you may be joining your colleagues later in the evening. If you are on vacation, early morning may also be better. I always run first thing so that I can spend the rest of the day with my hubby and know that my exercise is done.
Getting your walking done while you are out of town doesn't have to be a challenge. It may take some planning on your part - but it can be done. And, it will be much better to keep up with your walking program so that you don't have to work back into it when you get back home.
