Keeping Your Resolution to Get Fit By Planning a Vacation

For the same reason you get a sudden burst of energy when your workday is about to end, planning your next vacation gives you something to feel great about and often provides that extra bit of energy you need to get you through the week.

By setting a date for your next holiday and incorporating adventure travel activities like hiking, biking, and kayaking into your itinerary, you give yourself motivation to keep fit and also a timely goal to work towards.

Follow these 5 quick and easy steps to a happier you:

  1. Book your vacation time.
    Why do it now? Booking your vacation time before everyone else will ensure that you get the time off that you want. Booking vacations in advance will also ensure that you get the trip that you want at the lowest airline and tour prices.

  2. Make a short list (3-5) of your favourite outdoor activities and why you love to do them.
    Why write it down? When you write down why you love to bike / hike / kayak etc, you have something to help you keep your motivation to stay fit on those rainy or sluggish days when you may not feel like going out.

  3. Choose a BikeHike adventure that incorporates at least two of your favourite outdoor activities. If you are unsure of which trips are ideal during your vacation time or which country you would prefer visiting, call or e-mail us at 1-888-805-0061 (toll free in Canada & USA) or info@bikehike.com
    Why choose BikeHike? We’re one of the few small companies that will take the time to find you the ideal set of activities, itinerary and destination for you. If we don’t have an existing trip that’s exactly right, we can create a custom itinerary for you at little to no additional cost and book it with as few as two people. All BikeHike adventures are also rated based on recommended fitness levels, so if your new years goal is to increase your level of fitness, we can create a vacation for you based on that goal.

  4. Book your BikeHike adventure.

  5. Write it all down in your calendar or personal organizer.
    Why? By keeping your goals, reasons for them, and reminder of your reward handy, you are more likely to follow through with your resolutions and be happy about why you chose them and what’s in it for you in the end.
Happy Travels! :)
