Attempting to comply with a wholesome life-style and stay match whereas touring was one of many largest challenges I needed to face over the course of my skilled life. Making wholesome consuming decisions is difficult when being consistently on-the-go; airport snacks and resort buffets are a part of my on a regular basis routine, as is exploring the totally different culinary choices every vacation spot affords and it is easy to overlook my wholesome consuming habits and exercising plan.
I really like caring for my physique and following a wholesome dietary plan – that is why hitting pause as quickly as I depart dwelling and check-in to a different metropolis of the world, is simply not an choice for me.
FIT TO TRAVEL; that is the key phrase to my life-style and at the moment, I am sharing a couple of of my ideas for wholesome & match travels!
#1. EATING BREAKFAST AT THE HOTEL
Whether or not breakfast is included to my resort room worth, or if it is a part of my eating regimen at that sure interval or not, it is usually acceptable that breakfast is crucial meal of the day and the healthiest selection you’ll be able to have in your day whereas touring. Breakfast helps me kick-start my day with a plethora of wholesome choices, fruits and recent juices, οmelettes or a chilly smoothie – as a substitute of every kind of bread, pies, croissants and something a streetfood breakfast model affords (PARIS EXCLUDED!).
Throughout the day I drink a number of tea as a substitute of espresso – I usually keep away from ingesting espresso even after I’m again in base.
#2. EXERCISING AT THE HOTEL
That is my BIGGEST secret for remaining match and wholesome whereas away from dwelling. I train so much after I’m in my base and when i depart, I really feel I am shedding observe of my on a regular basis habits. So as to by no means skip a single coaching, I go to the resort’s health space a minimum of Three instances every week throughout my journeys.
It’s possible you’ll surprise if I truly select figuring out as a substitute of totally having fun with a visit from nightfall until daybreak – Really sure, I ALWAYS select health and figuring out on the resort’s fitness center, often early within the morning, earlier than hitting the street to discover the town!
Sure resorts function tennis courts or indoor swimming swimming pools and that broadens my health decisions. Like my resort at Johanesburg did, aiding me in following my strict health program throughout the two weeks I spent there!

#3. EXPLORING CITIES ON FOOT – WALKING/RUNNING
That is one other good, various health selection which mixes each figuring out and exploring a brand new vacation spot. Α pair of nice trainers is obligatory to take pleasure in an excellent run across the metropolis. Earlier than beginning, I plan my route together with any mandatory stops so as to discover the proper tempo and get probably the most out of each run!
What I additionally love is strolling round parks – like this unimaginable park I visited some time again when in Boston. Skip the taxi and subway rides and stroll across the metropolis – you will really feel the enjoyment of getting probably the most out of your journey whereas feeling wholesome and energized. Certainly one of my favourite routes and presumably one of the best journey I’ver ever made, is the stroll between VENICE BEACH – SANTA MONICA, a powerful route in Los Angeles – I at all times select this route for my run each time I am in LA!

#4. FOLLOWING A HEALTHY NUTRITIONAL PLAN
It’s a big problem to take action, I do know. Once I’m at dwelling, I can simply monitor my meals by making wholesome decisions, cooking my every day meals, getting ready my smoothies and recent juices and having full management of my on a regular basis vitamin. This modifications whereas touring, as my on a regular basis routine modifications dramatically. What I do so as to regain management, is protecting a strict meal schedule: I often eat at about the identical hours whereas avoiding something with gluten, sugar or dairy like I’d again dwelling.
I discover wholesome meal choices primarily based in my preferences virtually in all places I’m going. Even after I’m on the resort, I’ll order gluten-free pasta – it is 2018 and gluten-free is, effectively,the norm for any restaurant all around the globe!

#5. AVOIDING ON-BOARD SNACKS
Being a flight attendant means I’ve realized “listening” to my physique whereas I am flying at 40.000 toes is essential for my well-being. What I often want is a number of water and only a small snack The dry environment within the cabin and the sensation of bloating from the change in air strain are my enemies up within the air. I minimize down on my salt and sugar consumption, which means that i’ll not often eat the airplane meals.
My secret is consuming earlier than flying often on the airport lounge (no want to say how vital gathering bonus factors is, proper?) and even at dwelling, earlier than the journey. I ALWAYS have bars and nuts with me and I at all times keep away from (however I do crave typically, I admit) the airport sweet and candies.
