Summer Vacations That Focus On Fitness

Instead of choosing a summer vacation filled with laying around, drinking creamy concoctions and eating calorie-filled snacks, plan an adventurous getaway filled with fitness.

Consider these exciting options to look and feel great after your summer vacation:

• Plan a camp trip and schedule walking tours and hikes of the scenic surrounding areas.
• Stay in a waterfront destination where you can rent a boat for kayaking, rowing, white water rafting or sailing.
• Go backpacking up a mountain to try real life rock climbing and catch picturesque vistas.
• If your summer vacation isn't complete without the beach, plan snorkeling excursions, try surfing and go swimming.
• Do something for someone else and volunteer your vacation time at a local organization.
• Help build a house or assist someone with household chores to burn calories.

Instead of bringing home extra weight, you'll return from your summer vacation feeling fit and energized.
