#1 look to save calories, for attending functions where it'll be difficult to manage macros. #2 find restaurants with healthy options. #3 bring protein powder, for meals with low protein &/or to save calories for fun meals. #4 don't buy bulk snacks, a tendency to graze. #5 plan brief workouts for during the trip #6 get out & walk. #7 increase your workout intensity right before & after the trip, also reduce calories before & after.
I don't really vacation. I do travel through. I also plan on traveling more again now that things seem to be settling down a little. These are great tips! I've always felt guilty for not being able to keep up a workout routine or my normal eating patterns while on the road. But, SOMETHING is always better than nothing. And I like the tips for the week before and after!
List from the previous video, "9 tips for faster muscle growth": #1 Use all 3 "driver's of growth": muscle tissue damage, mechanical tension & metabolic stress - do both big range movements, plus small range, for constant tension burn. #2 protein timed to workouts, plus take BCAAs. #3 take longer rest between sets, for recovery & maximizing growth. #4 moderate calorie surplus (100 calories) get micro nutrients & high protein. #5 lift heavy, start with compound lifts (lower rep range) then isolation movements for stubborn areas. #6 reduce cardio, no HIT. #7 isolation movements, after compound movements. #8 don't fear carbs, time them around your workout, to provide energy for your workout session & to replenish muscles. #9 increase training frequency (2x per week, with variety). #10 good sleep & take a day off, when rest is needed for repair. ("HIT" intensity training. BCAAs branch chain amino acids.)
Hey I recently quit coffee but I do find myself missing that break fast ritual - you mentioned adding protein powder to coffee - I am wondering if you can simply make a hot protein powder drink similar to how you would hot chocolate? I’ve tried it a few times but it was clumpy and not very satisfying. Any hacks or other suggestions??
Love your channel! I would also add if you can do a spa treatment and enjoy a dry or wet sauna, this can really help you feel relaxed and rejuvenated. I did this on my vacation last week..Loved It! 😅🤩
Just broke my foot in June ,And hopefully I get my cast off on Sept. 14th. Uneasy and stressed cuz we are supposed to go to somewhere tropical in October..first of all I could only do upper body& a some leg (no weight) exercises, hip thrusts. My legs are being bigger by the minute it seems ..not to men tion..putting on a bathing suit 🙄😒..That why I sometimes don't to go away..because of weight gain.. I'm 138 and my goal is 120...58 yrs old. Could you Please make a Video on Counting Marcos!. I do Keto and intermittent fasting..but would like to try Macros Thanks!!
Thank you Cori! Sound advice! I try to walk a lot during my vacations and it seems to work for me. I like to eat different things during my vacation! As long as I stay away from deserts and process food the damage from eating in restaurants is not too big. I find that buying local food and preparing the meal myself if possible is the best to do. Most of my vacations consist of one day added to my weekend. I have always too many things to do to go on vacation.
I start off eating moderately but then as the week goes on I start to relax & eventually over consume things I wouldn’t normally eat…. But I always hit the gym & play in the ocean all day
Thanks so much Cori :) Heading to Italy in 3 weeks and working with your team to get prepared :) Down to the final 5 weeks before I head off to relax :)
