In my last entry, I talked about making better choices for food when bad options are in front of you. I was away for the weekend for a wedding where some of my choices were out of my control. When you travel your best options are always in your refrigerator or cabinets. However, you can get to a point of comfort to leave for a vacation even when you are changing your body and health for the better. Always remember your goal and your better choices will prevail. Stay strong mentally and it will happen.
We know the other component of fitness is exercise. This too should not take a break when you travel or are on a vacation. When planning for the weekend wedding, I was not sure what exercise equipment I would have access to, so I always prepare. Planning and preparation is important. Scheduling exercise is important. Since we were traveling by car, I was able to carry a few resistance tubes, a door attachment for the resistance tubes and a jump rope. When I travel by plane, I can easily pack one tube, the attachment and the jump rope. There should not be a reason to get off track. An away-from-home workout can consist of exercises with the tubes and several body weight exercises such as; squats, split squats, walking lunges, push ups and abs. There are also many other leg exercises that can be executed on the floor along with abdominal exercises. For that, all you need is a towel.
My point is that when you are away from home don’t panic. You can have an effective workout that travels with you to stay on course for your fitness goals. Again, changing you is about the choices you make. This is with food and with exercise.
