Healthy Eating and Exercise Travel Kit

For many of us, travel often means putting our healthy eating and exercise routine on hold until we’re back from our trip and back into our familiar routine. This can also mean that because of this vacation from our healthy habits, we have a few extra pounds to deal with, along with the need to reignite our fitness motivation once we’re back home. Is there a way to keep those healthy habits working for you while you’re away? Of course! So I created the healthy eating and exercise travel kit.

This “kit” was developed when I realized that whenever I travel, I always packed my food, snacks and workout gear before I packed anything else. It was as if, as long as those items were with me, I could make do with anything else and clearly showed me what my priorities were. I also noticed that when others came back from a trip and complained about the need to lose the pounds gained while away or the need to get back on track with their fitness, it was never something I needed to do because those habits were deeply ingrained and planned for while at home and when away.

So with that in mind, the following list is meant for you to print out and keep in your suitcase or travel bag. This way, when you take out your bag and begin to pack, you’ll see this list and be reminded to pack your healthy eating and exercise travel kit first.  Continue reading “Healthy Eating and Exercise Travel Kit”

A Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Cardio Interval Training Program

Want to boost your fitness results? Interval training is the fastest way to do it. With interval training, you’re using short bursts of intense movements for up to a minute, then bringing your heart rate and intensity down for a few minutes until you’re ready to increase the intensity again. The entire workout can be less than 20 minutes but the impact is huge. You can do this with little or no equipment and the results come quickly.

Here’s an interval training program using just cardio (no weights, machines, plyometric movements, etc.). It’s a great way to shake up your existing cardio routine, while allowing you to spend less time working out and getting greater results.  Continue reading “A Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced Cardio Interval Training Program”
