David Kirsch on Healthy Travel


Tuesday, June 21, 2011


If you’re anything like me, gearing up for a big getaway means working out, eating right and slimming down. We all want to look our best on vacation, but there’s nothing like a new setting to derail weeks of hard work. This summer, don’t lose the bikini body before you even hit the beach. Make healthy choices and still have fun with my five easy stay-slim vacation tips.

Pack smart:  Staying active is as easy as bringing sneakers. Whether you’re off to a beachside resort or a European city, there are endless ways to fit in your daily exercise if you have the right footwear. By squeezing in just 30 minutes of movement each day, you can maintain your weight and not lose sight of your goals.

Prep for the plane:  Long lines, travel delays and the stress of flying make you more susceptible to indulging. Instead of opting for not-so-healthy airport food, bring healthy snacks in your carry-on bag. Think almonds, crudite and my David Kirsch KIRSCHBAR.

Hit the shops:  As soon as you arrive at the hotel, stock the mini-fridge. I scour local markets for fresh produce and load up for the whole week. Having healthy snacks on-hand will prevent you from splurging during the meals out, or even worse, ordering room service.

Work the room:  No time to hit the hotel gym? Get a mini workout in your room. Try push-ups with your feet on the bed and reverse scissor crunches on the floor for a quick toning boost.

Do your research:  Have a plan in place for dining out. Before you even enter a restaurant, know what you’ll order. That way there are no slips. But remember, it’s ok to indulge in moderation. Do you think I skip pasta when I’m in Italy? No way! You only live once and shouldn’t have to deny yourself. Just don’t overdo it.
