Travel and Weight Loss

Travel can be disaster to your weight loss goals. Restaurants, high fatty meals, lots of rice/white bread/noodles/sushi, etc. Not to mention if you were unmotivated to workout before your travels, there is no way you will be working out while traveling or on vacation.

I realize restaurant food is easy when you travel or on vacation, so here is a great way to modify what you eat. Stay away from alcohol, choose brown (whole grains) over white carbs (rice, bread, pasta, etc.), and do not drink sugary drinks (pops, lattes and similar drinks, juices). Just by making those three easy changes, all your hard work will not suffer. Remember it takes twice as long to lose the weight as it was to put in on in the first place!

And here is a super awesome and easy fat-burning workout you can do on vacation:

The Workout:
1) Speed Squats – 30 seconds
a. Squat down until your knees are below 90 degree making sure your
weight is in your heels and your knees donʼt pass your toes (this activates
your butt muscles)
b. Do as many as you can in 20 seconds…set a goal and do more than that!
2) Rest – 15 seconds
3) Push Ups – 30 seconds
a. Either regular or from your knees; make a straight line, keep your butt
down, abs tight, and hands at shoulder width
b. Go down until you almost touch the ground and then head back up
c. Do as many as you can in 20 seconds… try to beat your previous best!
