There are very few things in this world as sacred as vacations. Vacations offer you a break from the everyday madness of life, and that is why jumping back into the office grind after holidays can seem jarring. Especially when it's your New Year vacations, getting back to your fitness routine after a week of wine and cheese can seem challenging. And while there is a lot you can do to get back to your pre-vacay shape, you can take steps to maintain your wellness routine while you are away. Here's what you can do to prevent going off track from your fitness without changing your itinerary.
Stay At a Wellness Hotel
You know that exercising can help you feel and function better, so it is worth to take some time to stick to your exercise routine when you are away. Maybe you can carry your resistance bands or light dumbells or even best, take advantage of the facilities where you are staying. Be sure to check out the gym or yoga classes the hotel offers. Staying in a wellness resort would automatically mean sneaking in some time to sweat. Many hotels also deliver workout clothes and shoes right to your room, so you do not have to worry about adding that workout gear to your already heavy luggage.

Eat a Rainbow
If there is one thing you must do while travelling, it is to try all the local cuisines and dishes. Try to add a variety of shades to your plate as the more colourful the produce, the more nutrients it will contain. All the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants you consume will keep your body feeling and functioning at its best. Aim for at least one fruit and vegetable in every meal. If you know that you are going to be on the move all day, start your day with an omelette loaded with lots of veggies and make sure that you pack some portable fruits. When you are sightseeing, be on a lookout for fresh farmer's produce and food trucks. Vaginal Health: New Year Resolutions to Keep Your Vagina Happy All Year in 2020!
Prioritise Sleep
All the flying and trying to maximise your time exploring new destinations can take a toll on your body and mind. So, try to get as much shut-eye as you can. When you are looking for a hotel, look for features like black-out curtains, comfortable mattress, and cool temperature settings that will promote sleep. If you are staying in a less predictable environment, like an Airbnb, download a white noise application to block out any distracting sounds. Packing your favourite sleep item will also guarantee some comfort. New Year's Eve 2019: How To Party All Night And Still Not Get A Hangover!
