The trip went off without a hitch, I’m happy to report. We finally got to bust out our bikes OUTSIDE! It’s been a long snowy winter in Utah, which meant the only biking we were getting was on the spin bike in our basement. Not nearly as fun as the real thing. So, the warm Arizona sun was a welcomed break. It felt great to temporarily shed my parka and pull on a pair of shorts.
But don’t get me wrong, we love snow and all its opportunities for playing in it. In fact, we do tons of winter-themed RV trips, too.
That’s the beauty of having an RV. It becomes this catalyst for anything we’d like to go DO. In fact, in this one RV trip to Arizona we were able to get so much biking in, we’re both now in better biking shape than when we left!
That’s pretty amazing if you think about it. Because let’s face it, vacations tend to be synonymous with indulgence, not with getting fitter. It’s way too easy to let our established healthy habits slide on vacations. But it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s all about finding the right vacation mindset. Here’s how we do it:
How to Come Home Fitter From Your Next RV Trip:
As many RV trips as we take a year, these 3 things have had to become non-negotiable for us. If not, with each trip we’d be falling further and further behind in our fitness. And you know what? I don’t feel like keeping our trips fit-focused has meant we’ve sacrificed anything. On the contrary, it’s even been the very opposite. Our physical activities enhance each trip with more adventures and life-enriching experiences we might otherwise have missed out on.
Plus, it’s an incredibly satisfying feeling having my pants still fit once we’re back home!!!
