Imaginary fitness vacations vs. actual vacations (reblog)

catherine w

Hi readers– I just got back from a five-day beach vacation with family. We had so much fun doing the following:

  • walking on the beach
  • swimming in the ocean
  • playing volleyball on the beach (niece, nephew and sister, not me)
  • lolling on the beach
  • swimming and lolling in swimming pool
  • playing board games
  • riding beach cruisers every day all over the place
  • watching silly movies
  • playing mini golf with enthusiasm, if not skill

It was an active and busy vacation, but also very relaxing. There was loads of time for hanging out, eating and napping. We made the collective decision to do and see less this time, not more. I am so very glad.

Yes, I'm as happy as this smiley face, despite both of us being a bit weathered... Thanks, Chaitanya P from Unsplash for the photo.

If you find that your vacation itinerary tends to get a little too full, take a look at my post from June 2019 about my imaginary fitness vacation vs. my real one. And let us know, if you like, about any imaginary or real vacation plans you have this summer!

I'm a feminist public health ethicist (yes, that's a thing). I'm interested in heath behavior change, particularly around eating and activity, and how things other than knowledge affect our health decisions.I'm also a cyclist (road, sort-of-off-road, commuter), regular yoga-doer, occasional swimmer and kayaker and leisurely social walker.
