Be Healthy, Stay Strong on Vacation

Your Complete Vacation Fitness & Wellness Guide

Vacation is a time to relax and recharge — but that doesn’t mean your health goals have to take a break! With a little planning, you can enjoy your getaway and return home feeling energized, not sluggish. Here’s your simple guide to staying active, eating well, and feeling strong on vacation.

Stay Active — Movement That Fits Your Trip

  • Vacations are the perfect time to move your body in fun, refreshing ways. Think beyond the gym:

  • Take morning walks or sunset strolls to explore.

  • Swim, paddleboard, bike, or hike depending on your destination.

  • Use stairs instead of elevators.

  • Stretch for 5-10 minutes each morning to wake up your body.

Your No-Excuses To-Go Workout (No Equipment Needed!) - for a quick structured workout anywhere!

  • Rapid Squats — 12 reps

  • Push-Ups (or Incline Push-Ups on a bench) — 10 reps

  • Lunges (alternating legs) — 10 per leg

  • Mountain Climbers — 15 per leg

  • Glute Bridges — 15 reps

  • Aquamans — 10 per side

Repeat 2-3 times with 30-60 seconds rest between rounds.

Eat Well — Without Stressing Out

  • Enjoy the local food — that’s part of the fun! But a few simple habits will help you feel your best:

  • Prioritize protein at meals (grilled fish, chicken, eggs, tofu).

  • Add veggies and fruit whenever you can.

  • Stay hydrated, keep a water bottle handy.

  • Enjoy treats mindfully; savor them rather than overdoing it.

  • Pack healthy snacks (fruit, protein bars, jerky) for on-the-go moments.

Bonus Wellness Tips for Your Getaway

  • Sleep matters — aim for 7-8 hours to stay energized.

  • Limit alcohol — it can drain energy and disrupt sleep.

  • Breathe and be present — take a few deep breaths each day to soak in the experience and reduce stress.

  • Your Vacation Wellness Action Plan:

  •  Move daily — even if it’s just a walk.

  • Use the to-go workout when you want a quick boost.

  • Focus on hydration, protein, and veggies.

  • Rest, relax, and enjoy the moments.
