When many of us take a vacation, relaxing is what we want.But we usually return home tired and weak.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Come home refreshed after an active trip!Don't be too tired!
Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all.It's all in defining(定义) what an active vacation is.
We don't expect you to run slowly, or go backpacking.Well, we ask the vacationers who are not active
not to sit too long but to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets,
exploring a nature protect, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.
These kinds of activities aren't just good for your physical health.They improve your mental health,
even your spiritual health.And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.And after all, isn't that
what you want from your vacation? Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as
they are active and healthy.
A walk at dawn or dusk is necessary.Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and
you will ensure yourself both physical and spiritual adding.
Don't allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water.Whether it is the ocean, a
swimming pool, or a tree－lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even
walking. Heck, merely standing in waist－high water is a good exercise, thanks to the action of the water.And you will feel so much more alive!
Many of us spend a large piece of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing.But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations
don't happen in a car seat.Don't wait for tiredness or nature's call to get you to pull over.Frequently get
out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun.It's important for your health and energy, and it
makes travelling a lot more active and interesting.
