I just returned from a 5 night cruise to the Bahamas. I
had a blast, stayed fit, and enjoyed a healthy and safe lifestyle. While on
board I observed many people who may not feel the same. The food was free, so
many felt free to eat as much as they wanted and as often as they felt like it.
Many people had double portions of appetizers, main courses and meals. The
buffet was open all day and most of the night, and pizza and ice cream were
available 24/7. As far as portions, some people actually groaned under the
weight while carrying their heavy plates from the buffet to their table. What a temptation!
Very few
people worked out during the cruise and there was always room in the gym and on
the track. When I wanted solitude, I could always walk the stairs because
nobody used them. Many times I was fit shamed while running on the track,
stretching, doing burpees, and looking fit and trim. So to avoid these temptations and keep motivated I put together 10 reasons you know you are fit when on a cruise line.
10. You take only enough food to fuel your body.
9. You have no problem realizing that desserts are a
snack and not a meal.
8. You have no problem saying "no thanks" to
the ice cream machine.
7. That little lip above the doorways make perfect pull
up grips.
6. 11 times around a track may mark a mile, but three
times around marks the first set of burpees
5. The fitness room time only augments
your total workout.
4. You take the stairs everywhere.
3. Your off-ship excursions require some level of
fitness.
2. You only sleep in your cabin.
1. You come home weighing the same as when you left.
Keep up the good work and enjoy your fit selves.
