The Stoweflake Spa experience
I just returned from a fantastic two days at the Stoweflake Spa and Resort in Stowe, VT. I was there to present two seminars as part of their Healthy Nutrition theme week, and had the opportunity to take advantage of the gorgeous surroundings and luxurious spa.
I'm what they travel industry calls an "active vacationer", meaning vacations always include some type of physical activity. I've gone rafting on the Snake River, combined running a marathon with tourist time in a bunch of cities (New York, Chicago, Phoenix, and Washington DC), gone hiking in the White Mountains, biking in Montreal, and at the very least always bring along my running shoes and workout gear so I can run in the vacation spot or go to the hotel gym. Don't get me wrong; vacations aren't only about being active. I love a good meal, going to a play or concert, or hanging out by the pool as well as the next person. But making sure I get to try a new activity, or do something physical that I love, makes the entire vacation more fun.
The next time you're scheduling a vacation or business trip, try to work in some physical activity. www.runnersworld.com lists suggested running routes in many cities, and you can always ask the hotel concierge for ideas on places to run. Call the hotel ahead of time and ask about outdoor activities in the area. Or better yet, plan your vacation around something active from the very beginning!
Eat healthy, live well!
