Ep 53: Staying on track with your health while traveling

Muscle Science for Women

In this episode Rachel and Ashleigh discuss mindset and the do's and don'ts of staying healthy while traveling. Rachel has just come back from an epic three-week trip to Thailand, and Ashleigh is about to embark on an all-inclusive family vacation, so they chat about stuff like:

• How to approach exercise while on vacation - how much should you prioritize it? What's the most effective exercise to do while traveling? How much downtime can you get away with without losing your gains?
• How to manage eating while on vacation - should you still track your food? How easy is it to gain weight on vacation, or conversely how easy is it to maintain your current state even when taking a break from your normal routine?
• How much does jet lag and other travel factors impact your health, gut health, sleep, etc and how can you combat this?
• How can you best balance enjoying yourself, relaxing, and still sticking to your health goals?

All this and more in this episode - if you have any questions or comments, please send them to [e-mail].
