WORKING OUT WHILE YOU ARE TRAVELING

What kind of traveling you are doing greatly determines the workout schedule, workout time and workout routine you have available to you.

Whether it’s for business, vacation, pleasure, soul searching, or life long quest, at some point you will be taken out of your normal routine.

If you are going on a business trip you are most liking staying in a hotel room. Make use of the hotel fitness room. Many hotels offer weight machines, treadmills, stationary bicycles, and fitness mats for stretching or exercising. Ask hotel staff where the fitness center is located in the building and what the hours are for the facility. Do not try to use any machine you are not use to using because if you use bad form it may cause injury.



If you do not have a gym in your hotel and cannot leave the hotel grounds use the hotel stairs and grounds as a workout. Free easy to use equipment.

Do not want to leave your room to work out??? Bring a Pilates DVD to play on your computer.

If you are traveling light use your own body weight to work out. Do push-ups, sit-ups, lunges, strength training, jumping jacks, jogging in place, and other basic moves to work your muscle groups, stretch, and get your heartbeat up.

My all-time favorite way to work out while on vacation is to walk or run everywhere especially if you want to see the sites. No cabs unless you are going to dinner and it is raining out. This way you get to see every nook and cranny of a town or mountain or beach. So then you can have your cake and eat it too.

DO NOT GET LOST WITH OUT IT.... DAY HIKING!

DAY HIKING



Gorgeous Lake in Swiss Alps!

Day hiking is one of my favorite hobbies. I love checking out new trails. Making special vacations and trips to experience new surrounding and sites.

One thing I have found that it is always better to have the right things with you even if it is just a day hike. A little extra things to carry, but you will be thankful in the end if you get lost or things go array.

Now if you are going on a simple small well-traveled trail you may or may not what to bring all of these items. But look at the two “kids” 18 year olds that got lost and disoriented in California a half mile from their car. They only had the shirts on their backs and maybe a bottle of water. The girl was in the canyons for four days and almost died.

That said this is the bare essentials I would bring on a trip.

Of course yourself! Comfortable appropriate clothing. (That’s for another blog) Hiking shoes and hiking socks… I have started wearing hiking socks! Big plus!

Food wise I choose mostly light weight easy to eat items in light weight food Tupperware containers. I love granola bars, raisins apples, grapes are great for hot hiking trips. Sometimes I bring a sandwich, but I usually would rather be on the move then stopping for a long time. Always of course bring what you like.

Water and liquids of choice weigh about 8 pounds a gallon. That is approximately one pound [er 16 ounces. How much water you bring really depends on how hot it is and how long you are going out for. The last thing you want is headaches or cramping.

Of course a day pack of your comfort. That is really a personal choice.

I always bring poncho. It is light and you can always use it to sit on. Definitely a knife. Compass is a must! Matches are also a must. Even if you do not have the proper clothing a fire will keep you warm.

The extras I like to bring for comfort is sunscreen, lip gloss and wetnaps (and baggies) for cleansing.

There are many more items that you will find essential. These are my basics.

HAPPY TRAVELS!!!

HOW TO WEAR HAREM YOGA PANTS

HOW TO WEAR HAREM YOGA PANTS

First off I love these pants. They are so comfortable. You can lounge in them, do yoga in them or wear them to the grocery store.



HAREM YOGA PANTS SHOP

They are HUGE in so many other countries. I saw them all over. AUSTRALIANS ARE WEARING THEM. ARGENTINIANS ARE WEARING THEM. VIETNAMESE ARE WEARING THEM. And So many other places. These pants are hitting the runways in so many different styles. There is definitely a science to wearing them.




They look best with your shirt tucked in. If you do not normally tuck your shirt with this style it the time to start. It does not have to be tight, but a baggy or untucked shirt will not do. It will just look sloppy. The great thing about these pants is that they are a one size fits all!!!.




I would wear a simple tank top and beach flip-flops or aviators with this style. And guess what you could wear these pants as a romper. Even less effort on the weekends!!
