Tips to Staying Healthy on Your Trip to Sydney
Staying fit while on the road is definitely challenging for many people, from packing your running shoes to finding time to break a sweat and even eating your veggies. While travelling may be an escape from daily routines, don’t let it be an excuse to stay unhealthy; there are many fun and easy ways to explore new destinations while burning a few calories. Sydney is one of the most favourable tourist destinations in the whole of Australia with an incredible climate year round and a harbourfront location. If you have Sydney in mind for your next trip and are looking to stay healthy throughout your visit, here are some flexible tips.
Being healthy depends mostly on the food that goes into your system, especially when you’re travelling to a city like Sydney where the culinary scene is diverse and tempting. But Sydney offers a variety of outdoor activities that lets you stay fit while enjoying a good time. A Harbour cruise with dinner and views is an ideal way to witness some of the iconic landmarks in Sydney while savouring some healthy yet lip-smacking food. Pick the multi-million dollar catamaran so you can stroll along its three outer decks, taking in the night breeze and city views. A Sydney lunch cruise on the catarman is also an optimal option as now you can also take in the sunlight from the expansive outer decks. Proteins (meat and fish) and vegetables are some of the foods you should target to keep you satiated and the multi-cuisine buffet served onboard in the cruise would be your best find. You don't need to eat broccoli and chicken for the duration of your travelling, instead make it a part of your diet and eat whatever you crave on the other few meals.
This goes without saying but doing things like riding a bike through the city, hiking, going for walks are some of the ways to keep your body fit without actually feeling like you're exercising. Anything can be used as an equipment if you really look for it, like using tree branches for pullups, squats and lunges in the middle of a walk, overhangs at bus stops and pushups practically everywhere. Rock climbing is also a fun and challenging way for a good workout. Be sure to do it under guidance if you're new to the scene. Sydney is famous for housing some of the best beaches in the world and you can take advantage of it by doing several water-related activities that will burn calories. Swimming laps is always a fun full body workout and if you're a land person, you can run or walk through the sands. If you are unable to do all this on your trip, just do a quick HIIT workout at your hotel rooms.
