Vacation is an essential part of all our lives and a very important one too. All of us need to take vacations from our daily work to spend quality time with our family and friends. Another very important aspect of vacations is that they help us revitalize ourselves from the continuous work that we do all day.

However, there is also a catch. Many times, it so happens that we tend to gain weight, a lot sometimes, while vacationing. While you may not realize it, it becomes quite a noticeable feature for your colleagues once you get back to work, sometimes to the point of embarrassment. Not to sound too serious here, but weight gain is a long-term health issue and can lead to their ailments in the future. So, what to do to avoid all this? Planning. Here, in this blog, we will talk about how you can plan a vacation so as to avoid any kind of weight gain.

Following are 2 essentials you should keep in mind for a weight-conscious vacation:

1. An active vacation: While planning for it, plan not just to go and stay. Plan to explore. More often, we decide to plan after reach the vacation spot which slows down the experience. Every place has its things to do, spots to visit, and so on. The best way to do this is to find a travel agency that provides trips to the place you want to visit. They make the whole budget and trip more reasonable and affordable. Plus, the main thing is that activity helps the body maintain itself, which includes weight too.
   Here are 3 things you can do on your vacation
   • Events: Every place has its cultural event(s). So, look them up.  They are a lot of fun and can even include dancing and games. All this has a positive effect both on your mind and body.
   • Bicycle tours: A very healthy exercise, besides being an exciting one, a bicycle tour has its own freshness and a good vibe. It offers a great overview of the place you are in while keeping your body functional and healthy and your weight in check.
   • Walking tours: Perhaps the most ancient of all, walking is the primary anti-weight-gain activity for every human. Most of us have no idea how much we can walk, and going for a vacation is the best way to find out. Opt for walk tours instead of buses and you will be amazed at how much you can walk while getting to know new facts about the place you are in.
   • Your packing: A continuation of the previous point, based on your active vacation, you need to pack your essentials. To remain active, you need to have as light a piece of luggage as necessary. Too much luggage will only lead to tiredness and lethargy and the whole point of an active vacation will turn meaningless.
   • Clothes: A pair of shorts, leggings or sweatpants, T-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, and running shoes, these are all you need. Nothing more. Keep it as simple as possible. You are going on a vacation, not a ceremony.
   • Water: Essential for staying alive, water is a must. Keep yourself thoroughly hydrated. This will help you remain energized. Carry your own water to avoid drinking other beverages. Attention: Beverages mean fat and fat is another term for weight gain.
2. Stretch bands: You don’t need to work out during a vacation to stay weight-conscious. You really don’t. But a stretch band does come in handy. It helps stretch (hence the name) your body and keeps the muscles functional and ready for work. Versatile and lightweight, they are a great addition to your vacation essentials and help you make the most of it.

Keeping these 2 essentials in mind will help you maintain your weight while on vacation. More activity means more fun and more fun is exactly what we want. And what’s more, less weight comes free. What a dream vacation would that be!
