Vacation is to rest, recover and clear your head. Gain new energy, so that you can then return to normal life fresh and fruity. To achieve this, it is important to keep moving during your holiday. Here you will find a number of tips that will help you get through the holiday fit. Whether you stay at home or still go on holiday.
If you stay at home this year, you have your sports outfit within reach. Are you going on holiday? Then put one or two sports outfits and your sports shoes in your bag. This is where it all starts; you create the right mindset.
While putting your sports outfit in the suitcase, visualize when you are wearing it. During a run along the beach or through the forest, an adventurous mountain bike ride with the family, an online workout on the veranda or on the balcony of your holiday address. See for yourself how you are sweating during these active sessions and feel the great feeling and energy afterwards. This will help you to really make this visualization come true during your vacation.
Are you staying at home? Walk to your wardrobe and do the same visualization exercise with your sports outfits. There is a good chance that you will immediately feel like putting on your sportswear and going for it.

Exercise is a good start to the day. The longer you delay it, the harder it becomes to act. Put on your sneakers as soon as you wake up, drink a large glass of water and work yourself up a sweat. Then shower and you are all set for the day. This way the heat and all kinds of other excuses can no longer stand in your way. In addition, you have more energy and you often unconsciously make more conscious choices in terms of nutrition after a workout. So win-win!
Exercise should be done every day for at least 30 minutes. Also on vacation. In addition, plan an intensive exercise session of at least 15 minutes every other day. With intensive exercise your heart rate increases, you get faster breathing and you address the cardiovascular system of your body. You let the blood and oxygen in your body circulate, which provides instant energy. For intensive exercise, think of running, cycling and swimming at a brisk pace, fitness or a workout such as HIIT. HIIT is a high-intensity interval training. This is very effective. 15 minutes is enough. Ideal during the holidays.
Make sports a quality time moment with your partner or your family. Explore the area together, do a round of climbing forest, or complete an online work-out together in front of your holiday home. A smile guaranteed. Afterwards you reward yourself with a nice cup of coffee and a (healthy) snack. This makes sports a party. And if you have children, you immediately set a good example:exercise is fun, exercise is part of it, even on holiday!
To make it easy for you, go straight to a 15-minute HIIT workout, the cardio booster. Are you training with us?!
Christina and Heidy are founders of the online workout platform Studio C Online.
As working moms, they know how busy life can be. With Studio C Online they therefore want to make it easier to plan sports in your life, because you can do it from home.
They offer great workouts full of variety and energy. Christina is a born entertainer. Her energy bursts through the screen. We often hear:“Christina's enthusiasm makes a workout over in no time”. “It's like Christina is in my living room.”
In this way they hope to motivate women again and again to KEEP training. This is so important. Not only for your physical health, but also for how you feel mentally.
Their studio stands for variation, variety and originality. Not a workout is the same. For example, you can choose from Studio HIIT, Studio Strength and Studio Fire. These are tough workouts, and it's better not to do them every day. In addition, you can choose from Studio Barre, Studio Sculpt (dance and aerobics in combination with arm/buttocks/core), Studio Power Pilates and Studio Stretch &Relax. These are training sessions of a lower intensity that can be nicely alternated with the heavy training sessions. And if you are a beginner, you can start very nicely with the lighter workouts and slowly build up to the heavy workouts.
