Raise your hand if you love to travel. Raise your hand if you love to eat. Now, raise your hand if you like to do all that and gain a few kilos while at it. No one? The good news is that there’s a proper equilibrium where you can enjoy both without any of it spreading to your waistline.
Travelling is one of the most enriching experiences in life, and like folks say, food is high on the list of things to take in a foreign culture. But the guilt of not fitting in your clothes after a trip can make cultural exploration impractical. And when it comes to fat-burning on vacation, especially if your hotel doesn’t have five-star facilities, you have to introduce a novel perspective to your daily dozen. Here are a few hacks that can help you avoid going over your belt next time you travel.
Take public transportation
Sitting on the lobby sofa while waiting for your Uber to arrive sounds convenient, but doesn’t really require extreme effort. We’re big fans of walking, and the idea we need to be above public transport is unthinkable. The stops along the way to your destination are far away enough to usually include some light footwork, and you also get to uncover more and connect to the locales. And if you’re serious about global warming and plastic pollution, take the bus.
Join public workouts at local parks
Local parks are popular places for tourists and the best spots to go for an early morning sprint or jog. And some of the bigger parks have group exercises you can join, too. Trust us, a jog or Zumba session can sometimes brighten up your entire day.
In-room Exercises
Provided that you have a spacious room, it’s easy to take care of your physique inside the four walls. You’ll be surprised how many routines you can do within a 10-minute period that will break a sweat. Plus, maximise your privacy from the comforts of your hotel room instead of a place where you can’t avoid the ripped gym bro next to you video streaming to his stories.
Check Out Local Gyms
Here’s the tip: Your hotel neighbourhood has a gym or five — ask the front desk where they are. Hotels that can’t put one in the building often partner with nearby gyms to offer their guests discounted day passes or even free access. That’s what we do. Use
Anytime Fitness clubs on your next stay with us in
the Philippines, and get free day passes to shed those extra kilos.
