Cheerio ol’ chap! Flat Belly Pilates visits London next month! In preparation for the trip, I have been doing some research about healthy food options, hotel amenities, pilates studios and fitness opportunities in the city. As the saying goes, “failing to prepare is preparing to fail.” Here are a few things that I plan to do to eat healthy and stay fit while traveling.
Be Prepared
- I like to bring snacks with me to the airport so that I am not tempted to buy unhealthy foods while I am there. Almonds, oranges, granola bars and raisins are great snacks that travel well.
- Being newly vegan, I made sure to order a vegan meal for the international legs of the trip. Can’t wait to see what that looks like.
- I've also made a list of the vegetarian restaurants near my hotel so that I know my options and don't find myself relying on fast food when I'm in a pinch.
Explore Fitness Opportunities
- I’m bringing along my magic circle for exercise just in case I am unable to visit a fitness center. I can always get a great workout in my hotel room.
- I am also going to explore a few of the pilates studios near my hotel.
- I plan to visit Hamstead Heath and take a run in one of London’s most relaxing open spaces.
- Walk, walk, walk! I plan to visit the museums, pubs, lounges, shops and markets too. Anyone who has ever tried to visit all of the district’s museums on the mall in a day knows what a workout that is. I’m expecting a similar occurrence when I try to see, do and hear it all in London with just 3 days and 2 nights.
