Travel is on the horizon!

Which means: Lack of routine for your nutrition and your workouts, right?

In with the Mohitas, Calamari and beach days, out with the barbells, vegetables and morning routine!!!

A common myth many of us fall victim to is that Vacation or Travel + a “Healthy Lifestyle” can’t happen—(or at least it can’t happen without misery). Vacation means real food and workouts have to go out the door. 

For others: Vacation=STRESS! Complete lack of routine, your usual workouts, and usual control you have over your food 24/7. Vacation is anything BUT relaxing, and you spend countless brain energy stressing out over the trip you have planned 3-months from now—wondering what you will eat? How you will get your workouts in? Or if the hotel will have a mini-fridge you can stash your homemade sweet potatoes and chicken breast?

Whatever end of the spectrum you fall on (fall-off-the bandwagon of heath, OR completely stressed out about vacation), get this: You CAN have your cake and eat it too!

Meaning: Vacation does NOT mean a healthy lifestyle has to go out the door, NOR does “vacation” mean that you have to stress out about keeping up with your routine—healthy food and workouts.

We all NEED vacations: Breaks from routine help us re-charge, just like your iPhone battery that gets worn down after 5 hours of no charge (seriously, they go down fast).

Vacations help us re-set, and if you lead a healthy lifestyle, are just part of what a healthy lifestyle looks like.

Vacations allow us to incorporate some new foods and variety of nutrients from our usual ho-hum chicken breast into the routine.

Vacations allow us to experience new things that inspire us, and help us think in new ways—new books, new adventures, new memories and new ideas.

Vacations allow us to refresh and try some new workouts that mix things up and challenge your body in new ways (like the ones below).

One of my favorite examples of the power of “recharging” and taking breaks is Thomas Edison.

Thomas Edison is most famously known for inventing the lightbulb, but he had nearly 200 patents (inventions) to his name!

Edison was also known as a “bad fisherman.”

Many days, he would retreat to a dock by the water in his town to fish, but…He NEVER caught any fish.

One day, someone asked him why he was such a bad fisherman, to which he responded: “I never fish with bait. The fish don’t bother you, and (time away) allows me to do my best thinking.”

Great escapes (like vacations) bring us new insights, visions and re-sets for our own healthy lifestyles. And while you may be “out of routine” it does NOT mean that real food, moving your body and yes, even a little wine or chocolate, cannot be part of the experience.

I’ve got your back on the whole movement thing. Here are some energy boosting workouts to try the next time you find yourself hotel or vacation bound (along with a list of bodyweight movements you can mix up into your own versions of these workouts if you are without dumbbells and weights). (Youtube search any names that don’t sound familiar).
