Tired of getting in great shape before your holiday
, then coming home half a stone heavier? Try these great strategies for keeping your holiday bod all summer long.
If youre heading for Tunisia on your holidays, its all too easy to fall prey to the delicious snacks that seem to tempt you at every turn. Briq, lablabi and ojja are sold on every street corner, but if you succumb every time you see something that looks like its good to eat, youll be wishing youd packed a burqa instead of a bikini. But theres good news: Tunisia is famous for its fantastic fresh fish, and its most often sold very simply grilled or pan-fried in a little oil, so its as healthy as its tasty. Couscous is a good choice too the semolina grains are filling and naturally low in fat, and the dish is generally served with a simple tomato-based sauce and loads of fresh veg. Look out for salade Tunisienne, made with lettuce, cucumber, pepper, tomatoes and olives, often topped with slices of hard-boiled egg, chunks of fresh tuna and sometimes prawns. Tunisia is famous for its fresh fruit, too look out for strawberries, grapes, pomegranates, dates, prickly pears and citrus fruit in the markets, and indulge without worrying about your waistline. Aim to eat sensibly for five days out of seven, and on the others you can indulge in a piece or two of delicious, honey-soaked baklava!
Rabbit is popular on holidays in Malta youll notice it on many Maltese menus, often cooked slowly with red wine and herbs and is a good choice, because its naturally low in fat. Soup is the dieters friend, and Maltese cuisine has many delicious soups, including variations on minestrone, courgette soup, and aljotta, a fish soup flavoured with garlic, tomatoes and fresh marjoram, and bulked out with rice. Maltas orchards are a rich source of fresh, seasonal fruit, so satisfy your sweet tooth with peaches, nectarines, apricots, melons, medlars, pears, oranges and tangerines you wont have any room left for kannoli, sinful deep-fried pastries stuffed with ricotta cheese and chocolate.
Of course, healthy eating is just one aspect of the quest to maintain your bikini body while your on holiday. All the restraint in the world at the buffet wont result in toned, firm muscles without a bit of exercise. Many cheap hotels wont have a fully equipped gym, but that doesnt mean you have to scrap your exercise routine for the duration of your holiday. You can get a great workout on the beach, using piled-up sand for for step-ups, press-ups and tricep dips, sand dunes for hill work, and squats and lunges to keep your derriere in trim. Even shovelling sand to build a sandcastle with the kids can be great exercise! Beach volleyball isnt just for Olympians its a great workout for arms, legs and core muscles, and a few throws of a frisbee will exercise the muscles of your back and upper arms.
Water-based activities offer a great workout too: windsurfing, jet-surfing, para-sailing, paragliding, snorkelling or scuba diving will all help to burn calories and improve your fitness. Of course, swimming is one of the best ways to keep fit and work off those snacks and sundowners: youll burn 550 extra calories in a half-hour session in the sea or in the pool. Or take the opportunity to try a newand exciting activity like golf, horse-riding, snorkelling or mountain-biking theyre all as good for exploring the scenery as they are for your fitness. Alternatively, put on your hiking boots, grab your bird book and binoculars and head for the hills your efforts will be rewarded by amazing views and more species of fascinating feathery creatures than youd ever expect.
