The holidays are here! While it's exciting to pack your bags to visit family or break away to a holiday destination, it's important to be mindful of your health and wellness while travelling. Have a look at our top tips to help you stay moving and active this festive season



Choose to Walk Instead
If you can, opt to walk in the area you are staying instead of getting a bus or taxi to destinations in the surrounding area. If you need to go to a place a few kilometres away, walking there will allow you to get familiar with the area, maybe meet some locals, and you can tie in some physical activity into your day. A real win-win!

Go For A Hike In The Area
A nice way to soak up nature and exercise in a new place is to go on a hike. A quick search on Google will show you the best hiking and walking trails if you are unfamiliar with the surroundings. Walking tours are also a great way to explore new areas. This kind of activity combines exercise with a bit of sightseeing and will make you forget that you are working out.

Use Parks and Recreational Areas
Some places have outdoor gyms in their parks that are great for daily workouts and taking the family out to see the area. If you are travelling with pets, parks are a great space where they can keep up with their exercise too!

Choose Outdoor Activities
Sports such as biking, skiing, swimming and kayaking are great physical activities to add to your travel itinerary to keep your heart pumping and fitness in check while on holiday. This is the perfect tip for those who are naturally adventurous but could also be nice for others who want to try something new. You're on holiday after all!

Travelling is so much fun, but keeping up with your health and wellness is important. These tips will help you to adapt to your normal workout routine by staying active and having fun at the same time!
