FAQs
I want to have fun on my vacation. Is this book all about depriving yourself?
Absolutely not! Author Tracy Benham encourages readers to enjoy their vacations to the fullest and partake in the wonderful food and drink available around the world. The keys are smart selections and moderation. How to Travel Fit teaches you how to create a delicious AND healthy menu for yourself on land or sea (don’t forget cruises!) In the end, a side order of guilt will ruin even the most sumptuous meal. Real fun on vacation begins with a healthy outlook.
My business trips are hectic. How can I find the time to exercise?
Business travelers are always pressed for time, which is why How to Travel Fit teaches you how to “steal” those exercise minutes without wrecking your schedule. From airport workouts to turning your hotel room into a mini-gym, this book is packed with fitness routines and tips on apps and gear (thank goodness for resistance bands!) that will get you exercising “on the road.” (Think how much sharper you’ll be in business meetings feeling fit and recharged!)
“Adventure travel” sounds exciting, but I’m not sure if I’m in shape for it. Should I just forget about taking such a trip?
No way! Adventure travel is built around physical activities such as hiking, climbing and kayaking, but there are many types of trips for people at different fitness levels. How to Travel Fit shows how to pick the right adventure travel program and how to prepare with a pre-vacation fitness program. If you have a heart for adventure travel, this book will make sure you have the trip of a lifetime!
A cruise ship is just a big eating and partying machine. How can I possibly stay fit while stuck with a “boatload of temptation?”
You’re right: it’s easy to eat and drink to excess on a cruise. How to Travel Fit teaches you how to make good choices AND have a great time. You’ll learn how to avoid the lure of the buffet and find healthier fare throughout the ship. You’ll also learn how to make the most of shore visits and enjoy natural, healthy cuisine in ports of call. Cruise ships may be well stocked with food and spirits, but they also offer a wealth of exercise opportunities including gyms, pools, rock climbing walls, and decks for power walking. This book shows you how to make the most of these fitness resources.
