There are two things you may not know: Low testosterone in women is MUCH more common than most of us realize, AND it happens much earlier in life than you would expect. But why should we be worried about testosterone? Isn’t it a male hormone?
We don’t notice some things are broken until it’s too late. The same is true when it comes to our health. Current research points to unstable blood sugar levels as a root cause for metabolic dysfunction, belly fat, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and even cancer.
Your circadian rhythm is responsible for many different body functions and can have a large impact on your health and overall well-being. But your circadian rhythm is not limited to being affected only by daylight savings changes. Knowledge is your best tool — here’s what you need to know and how it can impact your health, and what you can do to regulate it.
This is one of the easiest options. Walk anywhere and everywhere you can. While safety is, of course, the first priority, in many cities, walking is the main form of transportation. Where I might elect to drive or take a taxi/Uber/Lyft at home, walking is a much more commonly used and more effective form of transportation abroad [I’m talking to you Europe].
Lunges. Squats. Push-ups. Situps. Stairs. You’re very familiar with the basics, regardless of what you do on a regular basis. These are all possible with zero equipment and very little knowledge or preparation. Try to focus on the core areas, and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve and maintain. Here is an example of a quick fat-burning circuit that I can easily repeat on a daily basis anywhere I go. Repeat the circuit 3-5 times, depending on how much time you have, for a strenuous and workout. Modify the number of reps to meet your fitness level.
Similar to the above two suggestions, movement is key in whatever way you can achieve it. In almost every location I’ve ever traveled to, a morning or evening jog [Let’s be honest… vacations are normally in hot places, unless you’re traveling for business and don’t have a choice, or seeking winter sports (in which case you’re already active), so finding the cool time of the day and planning around it is often a small but very important detail] is way easier than you think. Challenge yourself to a run a mile quicker than your normal pace, or to do a quick couple laps within a smaller area. Running shoes take up extra space in the suitcase, but are worth it if you can fit them in, and can also double as walking shoes for longer walking days.
While a vacation may not always be the most convenient place to get your normal workouts in, simple routines involving yoga and stretching can make a big difference. You’ll most likely be walking more than normal, even if it’s just within airports and train stations, especially when dragging your luggage with you. This can tighten up any and all muscles, which makes staying limber even more important. Even just finding a quick moment to do a few yoga poses or stretch out will make a difference, but if you can get in a routine where you make some time daily, you won’t regret it!
If you are not familiar with the TRX suspension system, within your regular routine at home, in classes, or anywhere else, I can’t endorse it enough. Not only because of the effectiveness but especially because of the lightweight and portability. My best workouts are often achieved through this wonderful resistance-based workout system. You can modify the difficulty by simply adjusting the angle of your body in relation to the straps/wall, and can complete many different full-body workouts wherever you are, strap onto a door, a tree, or a wall-hook, if available. You can find some basic TRX workout information here.
