Why I didn't post for a whole week

I was in Disney World enjoying the entertainment and the family, that's why. However, I was still able to work out. Here's a good plan for a long vacation in a theme park:

Eat well. There are a lot of choices and food in abundance. Eat the right things and in moderation YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT EVERYTHING THAT'S SERVED. Choose the chicken over the beef and the fish over everything else. Eat vegetables and other healthy servings and watch the bread, gravy and sweets.

Carry the back pack. Chance are you won't be able to do obstacle types of exercises while in a small hotel and a packed agenda. However you can carry the back pack. This will add weight and challenge your walks.

Carry a child. If you have children, carry them if they aren't too big. A piggy back ride or front carry will also keep your muscles and core toned for future race events.

Do what you can in the hotel. I was able to do burpees, push-ups and an incredible amount of abs in just a short amount of down time.

Drink lots of water. You'll be tempted to drink juices, coffee and sodas, but take the water. You'll stay hydrated and keep the vacation pounds from clinging.

Rest. It's fun at the park, but you still need your rest.

Spend time with your family. It's a vacation for crying out loud.
