·
Scout out your fitness options. Check out local trails and
outdoor areas in the area you are headed to- it can be a great way to enjoy the
area with family and friends! If you are staying at a hotel, try to stay at one
with a fitness center. If you have a membership to a nationwide gym, go online
to find a gym nearby!
·
Sandwich your meals with
exercise! If you
start your day with a workout, your body is a lot happier processing that giant
Thanksgiving dinner you just ate. After dinner, why not go for a walk? Just
getting up and moving instead of succumbing to the “food coma” will help your
body process those excess calories the right way.
·
Be creative and motivate
yourself. Before
you leave, treat yourself to something that will motivate you to work out on
your trip. Buy a new fitness DVD, some new songs for your iPod, or portable
exercise equipment. Also, many exercise studios have affordable and even free
trial sessions, so hunt one down in the area you’re going to and try something
new!
·
Don’t go solo. The holidays are spent with
loved ones, so a lot of people justify skipping workouts to take advantage of
family time. But what could be better family time than a morning hike or
walking around to look at holiday lights? Try to plan something more active in
between watching football games.
·
Pack accordingly. Don’t let yourself show up to a
dangerous holiday meal famished. Pack high protein snacks, lots of water
(especially when flying), and fruit to curb your appetite. It will make the
seconds (or thirds or fourths) a lot easier to skip out on!

season!
