While being healthy and stay on track is important,

but not by costing you, your happiness and vacation. Vacation is for relaxing, taking time for yourself, and enjoying yourself. For everyone this looks different, so if enjoying yourself means having view sexy margaritas, well then go ahead do it. If you won’t have the sexiest drink on this planet on vacation, when will you have it? You should absolutely be moving your body and try to stay healthy, but your vacation doesn’t need to suffer for you to be able to do that.

I don’t know about you,

but my perfect vacation fitness routine is walking until I find the best mojito in the town. For many that might not even be a workout, but for me it definitely is. Finding the best mojito in the town and then trying to drink as many as I can, is a hard work. Whatever feels good for you, just do it, just make sure you don’t leave any margarita behind. By following these simple hacks, that are effortless, will help you get back to your fitness routine when you return home.

Wake up a little earlier 

If you are anything like me, this should be quite easy. Anytime I go to another country, the adrenaline breezes through my body and suddenly it my body feels like Ferrari. While a lot of people get boost of energy, doesn’t mean everyone gets that. In this case make sure you set alarm. Start your day off early by moving your body, so then you will still have enough time to do all the things you planned to do. Simple workouts like walking, running or even doing a quick workout at the gym  goes along way. By moving your body even little bit everyday, you keep your habit alive, therefore making it easier for you to go back to your fitness routine. 

Go sightseeing

My favorite thing to do while traveling is sightseeing, and the best way to do it, is by walking. Sightseeing by walking is pure gold, you get to discover places, that you didn’t plan to see. The best part is, you are being active without realising it. Walking might be fun for me, but doesn’t mean it is fun for everyone, so if that is you, you can opt for other movements like riding a bike, roller skating, running or swimming. Moving your body while exploring new place, is the best way experience the new place. You are being active, while also being present and soaking everything in what the place has to offer. 

Do a five-minute circuit 

When it comes to vacation, time can be really tight, so you got to maximise the time, that you have. Instead of doing long workout, that will cause you to be stressed out, opt for five minutes workout, that can be as effect as a long workout. Do view exercises in the morning like burpees, sit-ups, planks, push-up or squats, they are super easy exercises, that are very effective. 

Find a local class

What a better way to explore a place, than to participate in local workout class. You get to meet the locals, experience  how they workout  and possibly discover new workout routine. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and you can always find time to workout during your vacation, but it can be a fun way to experience a local culture. 

Go easy on yourself

 

Moving your body and being active is important, but so is listening to your body. It is your vacation, that means your rules. If your body doesn’t feel like moving and needs a bit of rest, listen to it. By being able to listen to your body, you will be able to maintain your workout routine. The point of vacation is to relax and boost your energy. You don’t need to feel guilty about wanting little break from working out, your workout will be waiting you. 

Keeping your routine alive can be achievable, even with busy schedules.  In my personal experience, it is easier to keep your body movement while vacationing than when you return home. You want to do and see as much as possible and in that process you move your body more than usual. It can be so enjoyable, everyday having a new adventure, but also it is important to know if you need to stop and give body a break. Listening to your body, even when you don’t want to, is essential in keep your habits alive. If your body needs to relax, give yourself permission to do so without feeling guilty. You always have to put your body first.
