Yesterday we discussed a two tips to help you stay fit when vacationing...Going High-tech and Bringing a Band! Today, let's take it a step further. Here are three more ways to make sure you still get exercise while enjoying that relaxing getaway with your family this Spring Break.Tip 3: Work the water. Whether you’re poolside, lakeside or oceanside, you can use the water for a refreshing bout of exercise. Go back and forth between swimming laps and jogging in chest-deep water; use a flotation device to keep your feet off the ground while you cycle your legs and paddle your arms; or simply tread water for 30-60 seconds at a time, resting in between sets.
Tip 4: Discover something new. Exercise often feels more enjoyable when you’re exploring new surroundings. Get to know your vacation spot a little better by planning some walks or bike rides to places you haven’t yet gone.
Tip 5: Active Family Time. Play with your kids. Jump in the water with them instead of standing by the wayside, get in on their game of tag or join them for a bike ride. If your children aren’t moving on their own, vacation is a great chance to minimize screen time and try some new activities together.
