Don’t Take a Vacation from Exercise, no Matter How Tempting

February 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment

For many people, taking a vacation means leaving everything behind, and they do mean everything. Unfortunately, for some this also means forgetting about the exercise routine. Some people can do this with few or no consequences. Others, however, cannot or should not let their exercise routines slip, even while they are on vacation.

Fortunately, it is possible to continue your fitness regimen even while you are on vacation. And there are so many ways of doing this that it is almost impossible to get bored. If this is your first time on a cruise ship, most likely one of the first things you will want to do is to see as much of the ship as possible. What better way of doing this than walking the decks of the ship? If it is a multi-deck ship, you can schedule a daily walk on a different deck as part of your cruise ship fitness plan. After that, you can enjoy one of the sumptuous meals (in moderation, of course) before hitting the pool later that afternoon for a swim.

The next day, your schedule can include taking a walk on one of the other decks, then either hitting the fitness room (many ships have them) or taking a dance class. If they don’t have a fitness room, take advantage of the rails and handholds that are placed along corridors to aid you in walking and hold them while you do some squats and lunges.

If there are no dance classes scheduled, look to see if any special dances are being held. Remember that dancing, even ballroom dancing, is also good exercise, so take advantage of these as part of your cruise ship fitness plan. Then, have some fun by rewarding yourself for not taking a vacation from exercise by allowing yourself one indulgence — either a decadent dessert or one extra trip to the midnight buffet. You’ve deserved it.

Mountain Climbing Tips

December 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Mountain climbing is an extreme sport that requires great physical strength. This means you should see a doctor to make sure you are healthy enough to participate. This will decrease the possibility of having health problems while you train and engage in the sport. You also need to learn your strengths and weaknesses so that you can set goals and develop at an appropriate rate.

If you want to be good at mountain climbing, you will have to do regular exercise to keep your muscles toned and healthy. All of this work doesn’t have to be done in a gym either. You can spend your time playing sports and doing routine things like walking up and down the stairs instead of taking an elevator. It will be impossible to climb successfully if you do not work on your upper body strength especially. You’ll also need to learn how to breathe properly to avoid getting tired quickly. Be sure to engage all of the muscles in your body so you have an overall level of tone and fitness. Don’t forget the push-ups, crunches, and flexes of the knees.

In addition to exercise, you will need to practice the skill of climbing. This can be done at indoor rock walls. Although different than climbing a real mountain, this provides a good training opportunity because it improves your grip and problem solving skills. You will also be given advice from the person that is handling your harness. One great advantage to training on an indoor rock climbing wall is that you will be supervised and be able to meet people who share your same interests.

You’ll also need to get the right gear to participate in mountain climbing. You’ll need a helmet, harness and seat, rope, special shoes, and spikes for climbing particularly steep areas. All of this equipment can be purchased online or at specialty stores. Make sure that everything is UIAA approved.
